ppc64-diag 2.6.1 uses 0775 permissions for /tmp/diagSEsnap and does not properly restrict permissions for /tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading files in this archive, as demonstrated by /var/log/messages and /etc/yaboot.conf.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-4039 is a local information disclosure issue in ppc64-diag 2.6.1. Diagnostic files placed under /tmp could be readable by other local users, exposing sensitive system information such as logs and boot configuration. It is not described as remotely exploitable in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on ppc64 systems with ppc64-diag 2.6.1 installed. Red Hat and SUSE advisories are cited, so affected distribution packages should be checked against vendor guidance. Systems without local untrusted users have lower practical risk. Treat this as a moderate hygiene and insider-risk issue for affected ppc64 Linux hosts. Prioritize remediation on shared administration servers, regulated environments, or systems where logs and boot configuration may expose credentials, network details, or operational secrets. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for ppc64-diag 2.6.1 or affected vendor packages.; Apply relevant Red Hat or SUSE advisory updates where applicable.; Check vendor guidance for exact fixed versions and backported patches..
