Package: squashfs-tools
Version: 1:3.3-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mksquashfs
The mode of teh generated squashfs image is always 700 ignoring umask.
In the man page I do not see any option to change this.
This makes the image unreadable to any server should it be read by the
booting system over network. It might slightly improve security in some
cases but people relying on the file mode for security should set it
themselves, for example through the standard way of setting umask
appropriately.
