Description:   Opened: 2004-03-11 15:24 0000 
After emerging net-mail/popfile-0.21.1 I had trouble running it (including a
missing dependency - see bug 44394).  But there are other problems.  The files
installed to /usr/share/popfile/ are *world* writeable, which probably
represents a security risk.  I think someone could change the modules. I rated
this a "Major" bug because I'm not 100% sure of the security problems.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge popfile
2. check out the permissions in /usr/share/popfile/*

Actual Results:  
Most files were user, group, and other writeable

Expected Results:  
Only root should be able to write I guess.

Updated the ebuild in portage; it should be appearing on a local rsync mirror
in about an hour or so.

I'm sorry for not responding; I didn't realize that I was supposed to try it
out, since I had fixed the problem manually myself.  I will pay more attention
next time I submit a bug.  Thanks for fixing it :)
