Subject: [PATCH] grub-mkconfig: restore umask for grub.cfg
5593c8
5593c8
Since commit:
5593c8
5593c8
  ab2e53c8a grub-mkconfig: Honor a symlink when generating configuration
5593c8
by grub-mkconfig
5593c8
5593c8
has inadvertently discarded umask for creating grub.cfg in the process
5593c8
of grub-mkconfig. The resulting wrong permission (0644) would allow
5593c8
unprivileged users to read grub's configuration file content. This
5593c8
presents a low confidentiality risk as grub.cfg may contain non-secured
5593c8
plain-text passwords.
5593c8
5593c8
This patch restores the missing umask and set the file mode of creation
5593c8
to 0600 preventing unprivileged access.
