commit 0d88b73d189ea3440ccaab00418d6469f76fa590 Author: Michal Hocko Date: Wed Jul 18 11:24:29 2018 +0200 cgrulesengd: remove umask(0) One of our partners has noticed that cgred daemon is creating a log file (/var/log/cgred) with too wide permissions (0666) and that is seen as a security bug because an untrusted user can write to otherwise restricted area. CVE-2018-14348 has been assigned to this issue.
