{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2021-45083","details":"An issue was discovered in Cobbler before 3.3.1. Files in /etc/cobbler are world readable. Two of those files contain some sensitive information that can be exposed to a local user who has non-privileged access to the server. The users.digest file contains the sha2-512 digest of users in a Cobbler local installation. In the case of an easy-to-guess password, it's trivial to obtain the plaintext string. The settings.yaml file contains secrets such as the hashed default password.","modified":"2026-01-30T02:11:43.492866Z","published":"2022-02-20T18:15:00Z","related":["USN-6475-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2021-45083"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-45083"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/releases"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/02/18/3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6475-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-45083"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cobbler","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cobbler@2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"}]}],"versions":["2.4.1-0ubuntu2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"cobbler","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1","binary_name":"cobbler-common"},{"binary_name":"cobbler-web","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"koan","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"python-cobbler","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"python-koan","binary_version":"2.4.1-0ubuntu2+esm1"}],"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2021/UBUNTU-CVE-2021-45083.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
