Description Thomas Kellar 2003-02-21 15:54:23 UTC
Description of problem:

file based swap space is created with the wrong
permissions allowing anyone-any user to scan the
swap space.  It is created with 666 permissions
and should be created with 660 or better 600 
permissions.  The disk based rather then file
based swap space has 660 permissions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Version 8.0 professional version

How reproducible:

easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add swap space manually
2. add swap space via the upgrade to 8.0 process
3.
    
Actual results:

/SWAP created by the upgrade procedure has 666 permissions when it
should have 660 or 600 permissions

Expected results:


Additional info:

Easy to fix but this is a security problem on multi user systems.
