CVE-2012-6136 tuned: insecure permissions of tuned.pid
Aaron Parsons reported [1] that tuned would create its PID file with insecure permissions (0666). A local user could use this flaw to kill arbitrary running processes when the tuned service is stopped.
This was fixed upstream [2] and was also previously corrected in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 via RHBA-2013:0386 [3].
Current Fedora 18 inherited the upstream fix, however Fedora 17 is still affected by this issue.
