Description:
Thomas Wolff has discovered a security issue in xbiff2, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to an error in the configuration routine in xbiff2, which creates $HOME/.xbiff2rc with file permissions set to 755. This can e.g. be exploited to disclose the user's POP or IMAP credentials.
The security issue has been confirmed in version 1.9 for Linux. Other versions may also be affected.
