Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 884854
CVE-2012-5628 gofer: /var/lib/gofer/journal/watchdog is world writable
Last modified: 2015-08-20 11:18:32 EDT
In gofer 0.67 and earlier the /var/lib/gofer/journal/watchdog is world writable. This directory is used to hold watchdog objects which are used to track asynchronous messages by serial number. If journal entries are improperly removed a denial of service condition can occur. This has been modified in version 0.68.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this issue as having low security impact in CloudForms 1.1. This issue is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates.
