Backup Manager (backup-manager) before 0.5.8 creates backup files with world-readable default permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

The CD-burning feature in backup-manager 0.5.8 and earlier uses a fixed filename in a world-writable directory for logging, which allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

Backup Manager 0.5.8a creates temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to conduct unauthorized file operations when a user is burning a CDR.

Backup Manager 0.5.8a creates an archive repository with world readable and writable permissions, which allows attackers to modify or read the repository.
