Description
The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected.
Affected configurations
• fedoraproject fedora 23
• fedoraproject fedora 24
• fedoraproject fedora 25
• gnu guile (<= 2.0.12)
