CVE-2013-5364: Secunia CSI Agent on Red Hat lets anyone edit settings

CVE-2013-5364 · published 12 years ago

Summary

The CSI Agent program for Red Hat Linux stores its configuration file with permissions that allow any local user to read and modify it. This means a regular employee could change how the agent works, potentially disabling security checks or exposing data. Update the agent to a newer version or restrict the file permissions so only trusted administrators can access it.
