Bug#1014659: logrotate: error: state file /var/lib/logrotate/status is world-readable



Package: logrotate
Version: 3.18.0-2+deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-release@lists.debian.org
affects: release.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

after the bullseye 11.4 point release I started to see the following mails
from logcheck:

Jul 10 00:00:24 mainframe logrotate[37314]: error: state file /var/lib/logrotate/status is world-readable and thus can be locked from other unprivileged users. Skipping lock acquisition...

I suspect the severity of this bug should be higher, but I will leave this to
you.

Thanks for maintaining logrotate!

cheers,
	Holger

So what CAN we actually do? Well, individual decisions (eating less meat,
taking public transport, buying less fast fashion) are all important, but we
also need to change the system. As you may know, just 100 companies are
responsible for 71% of global emissions. (@JessicaTheLaw)
