Technical description

MagniComp SysInfo before 10-H81, as shipped with BMC BladeLogic Automation and other products, contains an information exposure vulnerability in which a local unprivileged user is able to read any root (uid 0) owned file on the system, regardless of the file permissions.

The vulnerability has a confidentiality impact, but has no direct impact on system integrity or availability.
