Using Thunderbird 38.8.0 in Ubuntu 16.04, when I open a pdf I now get a -r 1 thomas thomas 19K Jun 16 18:28 filename.pdf So nobody can read the file, which is 95% of the security fix. The remaining 5% would be to not expose the file name to other users. That's exactly how it is done for

The rights setting in /tmp is 644, not 755. Anyway, what is so complicated setting them to 600? And by the way, couldn't these files be deleted at some time? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://b

As the discussion about this was going on for 8 years in the mozilla community, I suggest to at least set permissions right in the distros. For the moment, there is only one path (which is /tmp) and there is only the original name used. That said, concurrent users could overwrite their temporary f

I was wrong. Not overwrite, just read. Which makes it even less probable to break things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1401454 Title: Thunderbird writes attachme

Yes, I have read that comment. But it is two years old, so the question still remains the same: Why is it not fixed yet?
