A flaw was found in the coreos-installer, where it writes the Ignition config to the target system with world-readable access permissions. This flaw allows a local attacker to have read access to potentially sensitive data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
