CVE-2013-4216
First published: Thu Feb 14 2013(Updated: )
In InfraStack/OSDependent/Linux/InfraStackModules/TraceModule/TraceModule.c, function Trace_OpenLogFile, the log file (typically /var/log/wimax/wimaxd.log) is chmod'ed to 0666. Log files should not be world-writable. I'm not sure if this log file should even be world-readable (see <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed bz_public " title="CLOSED EOL - CVE-2013-4217 wimax (OSAL crypt module): By setting encrypted password writes unencrypted passwords to log files" href="show_bug.cgi?id=911121">bug 911121</a>). It's probably best to restrict permissions on the /var/log/wimax directory, too.
