The YaST2 network created files with world readable permissions which could have allowed local users to read sensitive material out of network configuration files, like passwords for wireless networks.

yast2-users before 3.1.47, as used in SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1, does not properly set empty password fields in /etc/shadow during an AutoYaST installation when the profile does not contain inst-sys users, which might allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.
