This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-3925) Mateusz Guzik discovered that SoS incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files or gain access to temporary file contents containing sensitive system information. (CVE-2015-7529).
