Bug#305142: world readable apt.conf with proxy passwd



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

During install apt.conf is written; including proxy configuration if
needed. The Proxy string is stored in apt.conf but permissions allow
group and others to read apt.conf hence to get the proxy password which
could even be a real users password.

Best regards,

Alexander Mader.
