+Subject: [PATCH] grub-mkconfig: Restore umask for the grub.cfg
+
+The commit ab2e53c8a (grub-mkconfig: Honor a symlink when generating
+configuration by grub-mkconfig) has inadvertently discarded umask for
+creating grub.cfg in the process of running grub-mkconfig. The resulting
+wrong permission (0644) would allow unprivileged users to read GRUB
+configuration file content. This presents a low confidentiality risk
+as grub.cfg may contain non-secured plain-text passwords.
+
+This patch restores the missing umask and sets the creation file mode
+to 0600 preventing unprivileged access.
+
+Fixes: CVE-2021-3981
