Bug ID: 31800
Summary: src-release.sh recursively changes permissions of
everything in to 0777
Product: binutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: rostiprodev at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
After running this script permissions of all files and directories (including
files of Git repo and the root directory of the project) are changed to 0777,
i.e. everything is open for everybody for any read-write operation. This is not
good, not secure and must never be done.
The src-release.sh script does it by the following line:
chmod -R og=u . || chmod og=u `find . -print`
Please remove this line. The src-release.sh works properly without that line
and doesn't change permissions of files or directories.
In case a particular file must have special permissions you can change those
permissions in the Git repository. Git always stores file permissions of all
BLOB (file) and TREE (directory) object in the appropriate TREE objects that
point to (have) them. For more information read:

[2] https://adamj.eu/tech/2023/01/31/git-add-remove-execute-permissions/
I found this issue in the "binutils-2_42-branch" Git branch but it exists in
master and in some older branches as well.
