This may have lead to +**/var/lib/cdist** being accessable by others, +including data from explorers. + +This release fixes this bug and setups a **umask of 077** within cdist. +That means if you are using the **__file** type without the **--mode** +parameter, your files may now have "more secure permissions" than you +would like. + +It is recommended to update as soon as possible. +For more information visit the [[cdist homepage|software/cdist]]. + +[[!tag config unix]]
