Technical description

The Trace_OpenLogFile function in InfraStack/OSDependent/Linux/InfraStackModules/TraceModule/TraceModule.c in the Trace module in the Intel WiMAX Network Service through 1.5.2 for Intel Wireless WiMAX Connection 2400 devices uses world-writable permissions for wimaxd.log, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (data corruption) by modifying this file.

Remediation

If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
