Re: [PATCH] wg-tools: Fix too strict file permissions on resolv.conf

[Florian Bausch]

Hi,

I hardened my system by setting a strict umask of 077 in
/etc/login.defs. However, this breaks DNS as soon as wg-quick is used to
bring up a WireGuard tunnel. This is, because the strict umask value
will be applied to /etc/resolv.conf (at least if the DNS hatchet is
used) and therefore, unprivileged processes are not able to read
/etc/resolv.conf.

While the behavior can be worked around by setting umask in other
places, the fix below would prevent this behavior to occur. The umask
022 is applied before creating the new /etc/resolv.conf in the DNS hatchet.

Kind regards
