Description Ratul Gupta 2013-12-17 11:52:24 UTC 
It was reported that perl-Proc-Daemon, when instructed to write a pid file, does that with a umask set to 0, so the pid file ends up with mode 666. This might be a security issue.

Comment 9 Vincent Danen 2014-01-07 18:21:45 UTC 
While RHN Satellite ships perl-Proc-Daemon, you need to have local access in order to take advantage of this flaw and a typical Satellite server installation will not permit local or shell access to untrusted users.

Comment 11 Pavel Denisov 2014-12-26 02:56:18 UTC 
While the patch from Debian fixes the security issue, it makes unreadable for other users all other files created by a daemon, what is unwanted in some cases.
Attached patch fixes this problem. It would be great if it could be applied to the package.
Comment 12 Remi Collet 2014-12-26 05:38:17 UTC 
@pavel, this bug is closed.

Plase consider submitting your patch "upstream" first.
Comment 13 Pavel Denisov 2014-12-26 15:18:12 UTC 
Remi, I've just submitted my patch to upstream bug tracker. Upstream doesn't seem to be active (no releases in 3+ years), so I don't expect it to be applied anytime soon. Should I open a separate bug here to include the patch to the package?
