The installer in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 uses 777 permissions for a temporary log directory, which allows local users to have unintended access to log files via standard filesystem operations, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1173.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
