possibly use this issue to bypass authorization, write in an arbitrary
file, or execute arbitrary code.

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly handle file permissions
during package install or update operations. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to perform a privilege escalation attack. (CVE-2021-45083)

It was discovered that Cobbler did not properly process credentials for
expired accounts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to login to
