CVE-2020-24584

Description

A flaw was found in django. The intermediate-level directories of the file system cache had the system's standard umask rather than 0o077 (no group or others permissions). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Statement

This flaw can only be triggered in Django by using Python version 3.7 and newer. While the flawed package is shipped with the below Red Hat products, the flaw cannot be activated without manually updating Python to a newer release. This change would break many features and is an unsupported configuration.

  • Red Hat OpenStack Platform versions 15 and 16 ship Python 3.6.8; 10 and 13 ship Python 2.X.
  • Red Hat Ceph Storage 2 and 3 uses Python 2.X
  • Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 uses Python 2.X

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
