Subject: [PATCH] grub-mkconfig: restore umask for grub.cfg
f6e916
f6e916
Since commit:
f6e916
f6e916
  ab2e53c8a grub-mkconfig: Honor a symlink when generating configuration
f6e916
by grub-mkconfig
f6e916
f6e916
has inadvertently discarded umask for creating grub.cfg in the process
f6e916
of grub-mkconfig. The resulting wrong permission (0644) would allow
f6e916
unprivileged users to read grub's configuration file content. This
f6e916
presents a low confidentiality risk as grub.cfg may contain non-secured
f6e916
plain-text passwords.
f6e916
f6e916
This patch restores the missing umask and set the file mode of creation
f6e916
to 0600 preventing unprivileged access.
