TITLE:
Back In Time Backup Removal Insecure File Permissions

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36492

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36492/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Back In Time, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to potentially disclose sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to the application incorrectly
making all files in a backup directory word readable when deleting a
snapshot. This can be exploited to potentially disclose the content
of normally restricted files by reading them prior to removal.

The security issue is reported in version 0.9.26. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict local access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by Remi Vanicat in a Debian bug report.

ORIGINAL ADVISORY:
