NVD Description

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

sosreport 3.2 uses weak permissions for generated sosreport archives, which allows local users with access to /var/tmp/ to obtain sensitive information by reading the contents of the archive.
