Package: ppp Version: 2.4.6-3.1 Severity: normal postinst modifies the permissions of 2 configuration files, pap-secrets and chap-secrets:
# install /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets from templates, # if necessary for file in pap-secrets chap-secrets; do if [ -f /etc/ppp/$file ]; then TAG=$(head --lines=1 /etc/ppp/$file) if [ "$TAG" = "#GENERATED-BY-DEBIAN-INSTALLER#" ]; then (sed -e "s/-HOSTNAME-/$HOST/g" /usr/share/ppp/$file; \ cat /etc/ppp/$file) > /etc/ppp/$file.tmp mv /etc/ppp/$file.tmp /etc/ppp/$file fi else sed -e "s/-HOSTNAME-/$HOST/g" < /usr/share/ppp/$file > /etc/ppp/$file fi chmod 600 /etc/ppp/$file done The permission change at the last line is always performed, even on upgrade. This causes /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to go back to 0600 even if the administrator has set different permissions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ppp depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpcap0.8 1.6.2-2 ii procps 2:3.3.9-9 ppp recommends no packages. ppp suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
