Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
18063 KDE Kate/KWrite Backup File Insecure Permission Information Disclosure

Kate/KWrite create a file backup before saving a modified file. These backup files are created with default permissions (as set by umask), even if the original file had more strict permissions set. Depending on system setup, relaxed permissions may make the backup file readable to users who would not have read permission to the original file. Kate/KWrite are network transparent, therefore this disclosure might not be limited to local users.
