CVE-2020-10762
Description
An information-disclosure flaw was found in the way that gluster-block logs the output from gluster-block CLI operations. This includes recording passwords to the cmd_history.log file which is world-readable. This flaw allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log file. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
Statement
The version of gluster-block shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 sets the world-readable permissions on gluster-block directory and log files that store the sensitive information, hence affected by this vulnerability.
Mitigation
Manually change the log files permission to remove readable bits for others, e.g;
# chmod 640 /var/log/glusterfs/gluster-block/cmd_history.log
NOTE: The above mitigation only restricts access to the other local users. To avoid storing passwords to the log file, kindly update gluster-block to the fixed version.
