NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt package and not the salt package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The state.sls function in Salt before 2015.8.3 uses weak permissions on the cache data, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the file.
