Dwayne Litzenberger discovered that Python Keyring’s CryptedFileKeyring file format used weak cryptography. A local attacker may use this issue to brute-force CryptedFileKeyring keyring files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(CVE-2012-4571)
It was discovered that Python Keyring created keyring files with insecure permissions. A local attacker could use this issue to access keyring files belonging to other users.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
