Description Marcus Meissner 2015-06-19 09:26:23 UTC 
via https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233520

openhpi ships with the /var/lib/openhpi/ directory set world readable and 
writeable. If this directory is used for storing the OPENHPI_UID_MAP or other
openhpi data for exam,p[le an attacker would be able to view, modify and delete 
it. Even without such usage an attacker could use it to fill up the storage
hosting the /var/lib/ directory if quotas are not properly set.

SUSE:

The directory is world readable, but NOT world writeable.

So this issue does only affect us partially, although I think reading the data
might not be an issue.
