Subject: [PATCH] grub-mkconfig: restore umask for grub.cfg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since commit:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ab2e53c8a grub-mkconfig: Honor a symlink when generating configuration
|
|
|
|
|
by grub-mkconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has inadvertently discarded umask for creating grub.cfg in the process
|
|
|
|
|
of grub-mkconfig. The resulting wrong permission (0644) would allow
|
|
|
|
|
unprivileged users to read grub's configuration file content. This
|
|
|
|
|
presents a low confidentiality risk as grub.cfg may contain non-secured
|
|
|
|
|
plain-text passwords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch restores the missing umask and set the file mode of creation
|
|
|
|
|
to 0600 preventing unprivileged access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes: CVE-2021-3981
