Subject: bug#29182: CVE-2017-1000383: umask and backup files
Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2017 16:56:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <v4lq7ysu5.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Package: emacs
Version: 25.3
Tags: security
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-1000383
GNU Emacs version 25.3.1 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask
when creating a backup save file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME]~") resulting in
files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not
intended by the user running the emacs binary.
[I'm not sure why this apparently hasn't been reported here before now?]
