Title:
The kernel is no longer readable by non-root users
Status in “hobbit-plugins” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The mode of the latest kernel has changed so it is no longer readable
by non-root users:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4336016 2010-10-17 01:37
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4336912 2010-11-24 12:46
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4523072 2011-03-08 18:47 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-6-generic
-rw------- 1 root root 4523936 2011-04-11 05:24 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic
This prevents people from using this kernel to boot qemu
virtual machines as non-root.
Please change the mode back to make the kernel readable.
