CVE-2010-2450

HIGH CVSS: 7.5 Published: 2019-11-07 Modified: 2026-06-16

Description

The keygen.sh script in Shibboleth SP 2.0 (located in /usr/local/etc/shibboleth by default) uses OpenSSL to create a DES private key which is placed in sp-key.pm. It relies on the root umask (default 22) instead of chmoding the resulting file itself, so the generated private key is world readable by default.

Affected Platforms

Shibboleth Service ProviderDebian Debian Linux

Weakness Type

CWE-200, CWE-916
