Description Oliver Falk 2008-12-09 16:44:05 UTC 
Use default umask instead.

Other information:
[falko@leftie libxslt-1.1.17]$ grep -A5 -B5 mkdir libxslt/security.c 
			return(0);
		    }
		}
		ret = xsltCheckWrite(sec, ctxt, (const xmlChar *)directory);
		if (ret == 1)
		    ret = mkdir(directory, 0755);
		if (ret < 0)
		    return(ret);
	    }
	    xmlFree(directory);
	}
Comment 1 Oliver Falk 2008-12-09 16:45:21 UTC 
I'm not sure how safe it is to remove the permissions (0755). Within Linux this should be fine and should default to umask... Maybe just try to create without hardcoded perms and if that fails, then try with it!?
Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 11:00:33 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
