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.

IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0 before 7.0.0.3 uses weak permissions (777) for files associated with unspecified "interim fixes," which allows attackers to modify files that would not have been accessible if the intended 755 permissions were used.
