           Summary: Image folder doesn't work unless chmod 777

          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux

A fresh install of 1.20.2 on Ubuntu with ImageMagick. It's a shared host, and I
don't have root access. I've got images hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons
showing fine as thumbnails. However when I tried to upload images from the
local PC I was getting "Unable to create the folder
"mwstore://local-backend/local-public/ ...". Until I did chmod 777 to the
images folder. Now I have all images and thumbnails working fine but also have
a hole in the sites security. 

Is there a better way to fix this, without root permissions, than chmod 777
images/? Is this a bug?
