Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Open vSwitch version 1.4.2

Description The issue allows local users to delete and overwrite arbitrary files due to world-writable permissions for certain directories. Specifically, the directories /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/controllerca/incoming/ and /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/switchca/incoming/ have insecure permissions.

Recommendations For Open vSwitch version 1.4.2, consider changing the permissions of the /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/controllerca/incoming/ and /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/switchca/incoming/ directories to prevent world-writable access, thereby restricting the ability of local users to delete or overwrite files in these directories.
