[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#843983: vmdebootstrap: root of squashfs filesystem has no g+x or o+x permissions

[Iain R. Learmonth]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: important

Hi,

squashfs filesystems produced by vmdebootstrap have no g+x or o+x permissions
on the root of the filesystem which prevents non-root users from traversing any
of the filesystem.

In live-wrapper this is temporarily fixed by a chmod in the chroot during the
customise.sh stage.

Thanks,
Iain.
