Description Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-06-16 15:17:19 UTC
Seems like running `unsymlink-lib --migrate` while under 077 umask leaves the system broken for non-root users due to path traversal issues caused by non-world readable directories.

Running rollback, changing umask to 022 and re-running --migrate works.

Perhaps the tool should set umask 022 for it's own process tree.
