Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2019-07-03 09:08:36 UTC

This CVE only affects the Debian mkinitramfs (initramfs-tools), which is not used in the Fedora configuration for Calamares. The underlying tool is also not shipped at all by Fedora. Therefore, Fedora is NOT affected by this vulnerability.

Dracut does not require the caller (Calamares in this case) to set the umask, it already does this automatically, and has been doing so since 2012 (since 2016 for one special case). See CVE-2012-4453 (https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/e1b48995c26c4f06d1a718539cb1bd5b0179af91) and CVE-2016-8637 (https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/0db98910a11c12a454eac4c8e86dc7a7bbc764a4).

Calamares on Fedora IS affected by the related CVE-2019-13178, though.
