Description
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. The winpr-makecert utility creates unencrypted private key and certificate archive files without restricting permissions to the file owner, and it assigns a hardcoded default password to exported archives. A local user on a multi-user system can exploit this flaw to read world-readable key files or decrypt archive files, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive private cryptographic keys.
