NVD Description

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

An information-disclosure flaw was found in Grafana through 6.7.3. The database directory /var/lib/grafana and database file /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db are world readable. This can result in exposure of sensitive information (e.g., cleartext or encrypted datasource passwords).
