Summary

sosreport vulnerabilities

Details

Dolev Farhi discovered an information disclosure issue in SoS. If the /etc/fstab file contained passwords, the passwords were included in the SoS report. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3925)

Mateusz Guzik discovered that SoS incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files or gain access to temporary file contents containing sensitive system information. (CVE-2015-7529)
