Hi Jérémy, Laszlo and LTS team
You have probably seen my latest emails about "Bug#832908: mongodb:
CVE-2016-6494: world-readable .dbshell history file: LTS update and upgrade
handling".
I have now prepared a security update of this CVE-2016-6494 and in addition
to that TEMP-0833087-C5

I think.

Hi Chris
The reason I do not simply set the umask to a fixed value is to use the
same principle as upstream. That is honor the umask set bu the user. There
may be reasons why group read and/or write should be set for example.
I agree with upstream that the umask should be honored, but not as stri

Out of interest, why:
+mode_t prev_mask = umask(0022);
+// Make sure this file is not readable by others
+umask(prev_mask | S_IROTH | S_IWOTH | S_IXOTH);
FILE *fp = fopen(filename,"w");

Hope it helps for later versions too.

FWIW, the vendor has closed https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-25335
with "Works as Designed".
If someone wants to follow up on explaining to mongodb upstream why
umask shouldn't prevent them from applying proper permissions where
needed, they're welcome to do so. ssh-keygen(1) would be a good
Hi again
I just realize that we need to change back the umask after the file is

For redis, what I did was set and then unset the umask (for creation) and
chmod(2) the file afterwards to "upgrade" existin
Hi
I'm member of the Long Term Security team in Debian and I'm following this
as I plan to backport the correction to wheezy.
I have a few questions:
1) When do you think you will have a correction available that I can have a
look at?
2) How do you plan to handle the "upgrade case" that is will y

So, upstream just closed the issue I created with 'Works as Designed'
blaming the default umask for the bug and that specifying file
permissions for files created by mongodb is not something mongodb should
do.
