NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream quagga package and not the quagga package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The quagga package before 0.99.23-2.6.1 in openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 1 uses weak permissions for /etc/quagga, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in the directory.
