Summary

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x before 12.1.0 and 11.x before 11.3.7 assigns overly permissive operating-system permissions to certain log files. A local user with low privileges can read or alter log data. The corrected default permissions apply only to newly created and rotated logs, so existing logs keep their current permissions until remediated.

Description from the CNA

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 assign overly permissive operating-system permissions to certain log files, which could allow a local user to read or alter log data. The corrected default permissions apply to newly created and rotated logs; existing logs retain their current permissions until remediated.
