+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
