[Debian] Medium CVE: CVE-2022-1348: logrotate: allowing an unprivileged user to lock the state file

[Yue Tao]

CVE-2022-1348: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1348

A vulnerability was found in logrotate in how the state file is created. The state file is used to prevent parallel executions of multiple instances of logrotate by acquiring and releasing a file lock. When the state file does not exist, it is created with world-readable permission, allowing an unprivileged user to lock the state file, stopping any rotation. This flaw affects logrotate versions before 3.20.0.

Base Score: Medium
