Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-4328)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

plugin/npapi/plugin.cpp in Gnash before 0.8.10 uses weak permissions (world readable) for cookie files with predictable names in /tmp, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
