#5239 - fixperms: New permissions are being applied on "other", but webserver user might own the files This is a spacer post for a website comment topic. The content this topic relates to: #5239 - fixperms: New permissions are being applied on "other", but webserver user might own the files By Guest posted 9th Jan 2023, 12:11 PM Do not fill this field in. Discussed with Patrick. This affects Linux. The issue is User bitmask privileges take precedence over Other bitmask privileges. i.e. 0066 permissions would not result in a writable file for the owner of that file, but would for some random other user. That's news to us, but ok. By Guest posted 15th Jan 2023, 4:33 AM Also, addon registry hooks were not being checked for get_chmod_array like they should have been via fixperms.php. Also fixed. 0 guests and 0 members have recently viewed this. Sort: Relevance Newest first Oldest first Rating Popularity
