CVE-2018-19046

keepalived 2.0.8 didn't check for existing plain files when writing data to a temporary file upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats. If a local attacker had previously created a file with the expected name (e.g., /tmp/keepalived.data or /tmp/keepalived.stats), with read access for the attacker and write access for the keepalived process, then this potentially leaked sensitive information.

This issue did not affect the versions of keepalived as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 as the packages are not built with dbus support, therefore the vulnerable code is not available in resulting RPM and the issue cannot be exploited.
