Public bug reported: The packaging process of the EC2 AMIs for 12.04 seems to be containing errors, as /etc is group-writeable, and two files (hostname, hosts) have bad ownership and insecure permissions.
This does not occur on a regular -server installation, but can be observed on (at least) AMI ami-7b152c0f (eu-west-1). # ls -la /etc total 788 drwxrwxr-x 86 root root 4096 Mar 2 17:44 . [...] -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 18 Mar 2 17:44 hostname -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 221 Jan 9 08:47 hosts ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945021 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 Beta1 AMIs have wrong permissions in /etc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/945021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
