I have checked with Security Team and they advice that it is a bit late in the cycle to make a significant change in the behaviour. Would it be possible to obtain Feature Freeze Exception[1] for the issue if you would like it to be included in Oracular, or resubscribe Sponsors early in the next release cycle?
[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1957024 Title: pam-mkhomedir does not honor private home directories Status in pam package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: As reported in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/private-home- directories-for-ubuntu-21-04-onwards/19533/13: A common situation is to have a central set of users (e.g. in LDAP) and use pam_mkhomedir.so to create the home directory when the user first logs in. These changes do not cover this situation. The default configuration of pam_mkhomedir.so will result in a home directory created with 0755 permissions. To make pam_mkhomedir.so create a home directory by default with permissions consistent with the other tools then a umask argument can be added to the pam_mkhomedir.so module in the file /usr/share/pam- configs/mkhomedir. I believe this would have to be done before enabling the module. The file is part of the libpam-modules package.
