Thanks, but no, this is not supported through the BTS, sorry.  Backports
are supported in private mail, at most.

The postinst clearly chmods in the version in unstable I have at hand.
There is possibly a corner case when you do not use Debconf or use the
non-interactive backend to configure the package.  Then the configuration
file might be written with unsafe permissions.  I will investigate this
with the pending Debconf script rewrite.


Kind regards,

Bug#445815: aiccu: configuration file world readable (containing password and login)

2007-10-08 Thread Sebastian Niehaus
Package: aiccu
Version: 20070115-3~bpo.2+b1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

I know, this is an unsupported backport. Anyways ..

The file /etc/aiccu.conf containing login and password is
world readable. The security problem is obvious.
