This fixes a weakness, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information. The weakness is caused due to the prewikka.conf file being world readable, which can be exploited to e.g. disclose the database password. SOLUTION: Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update prewikka"). PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
