Description:   Opened: 2007-10-31 23:57 0000 
CVE-2007-5751 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-5751):
  Liferea before 1.4.6 uses weak permissions (0644) for the feedlist.opml
  backup file, which allows local users to obtain credentials.

------- Comment #1 From Robert Buchholz 2007-10-31 23:59:15 0000 ------- 
Daniel, please advise.

------- Comment #2 From Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-11-01 02:16:12 0000 ------- 
I've checked this, and the backup file only has bad perms in the 1.4.x series
(which is not stable anywhere), and is in a subdirectory with 700 perms. so
it's probably not an issue.  I'll bump 1.4.5b to 1.4.6 anyway, which should
take care of this problem.

------- Comment #3 From Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-11-01 02:17:13 0000 ------- 
No, I take it back.  The 1.2 series also has 0644 perms (again in a 0700
directory).  I'll find and backport the fix, as 1.4.x is nowhere near ready to
go stable.

------- Comment #4 From Daniel Gryniewicz 2007-11-01 03:09:03 0000 ------- 
Okay, 1.4.6 is in the tree (and 1.4.5b removed).  In addition, I backported the
patch fixing the perms to 1.2.23-r1.  I don't recommend that 1.4.x go stable at
this point, so if early stabilization is necessary, 1.2.23-r1 is the correct
version.

I did check, and the patch the fix the perms on the backup file on the next
run.
