Hello,
I've noticed that the files in the gpa tarball are owned by user/group =
other
than 0/0 (root/root)/
In my case it was 1000/1000. When I opened the tarball I found out that =
the
ownership of the files is of one of my users, which has the UID/GID =
1000.
It is extremely not secure, as you can probably guess, especially since =
some
of the files have write permissions for the world.
Peace.
