Subject: (main) Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
X-Git-Tag: COREUTILS-6_0~1069
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52893ffd2a3ff896e0b51f3f35bca191b71a47d4;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fcoreutils.git

(main) Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
open, fchown, and close rather than just chown.  To do that reliably
(even with an overly restrictive umask), ensure that each
mkdir call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
