civodul pushed a commit to branch stable-2.0
in repository guile.
commit 245608911698adb3472803856019bdd5670b6614
Author: Ludovic Courtès <address@hidden>

Remove 'umask' calls from 'mkdir'.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/24659>.
* libguile/filesys.c (SCM_DEFINE): Remove calls to 'umask' when MODE is
unbound; instead, use 0777 as the mode. Update docstring to clarify
this.
* doc/ref/posix.texi (File System): Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention it.

* Bug fixes
+
+** 'mkdir' procedure no longer calls umask(2) (<http://bugs.gnu.org/24659>)
+
+When the second argument to the 'mkdir' procedure was omitted, it would
+call umask(0) followed by umask(previous_umask) and apply the umask to
+mode #o777.
+
+This was unnecessary and a security issue for multi-threaded
+applications: during a small window the process' umask was set to zero,
+so other threads calling mkdir(2) or open(2) could end up creating
+world-readable/writable/executable directories or files.
