| Doc Text | Cause: When updating /etc/localtime, the tzdata-update program applies the process umask to determine the file permissions. Consequence: If the umask is a restrictive value, such as 077, the new /etc/localtime file may not be readable by non-root users. Fix: When updating /etc/localtime, tzdata-update now sets the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644) unconditionally. Result: Non-root users will be able to access the /etc/localtime file even if tzdata-update is run with a restrictive umask. | |||

Result: Non-root users will be able to access the /etc/localtime file even if tzdata-update is run with a restrictive umask. | Fix for tzdata-update inheriting an unusable umask When updating /etc/localtime, tzdata-update applies the current process umask to determine the file permissions. If the umask is a restrictive value, such as 077, the new /etc/localtime file may not be readable by non-root users. To resolve this, tzdata-update now sets the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644) unconditionally. |
