Package: glipper
Version: 1.0-1.1
Severity: serious
Tags: security

~/.glipper/history contains potentially sensative information
(whatever has been put in the clipboard lately) and yet is
world-readable:

j...@gnu:~/.glipper>ls -ld . history
drwxr--r-- 3 joey joey 4096 Nov  9 20:53 ./
-rw-r--r-- 1 joey joey 2585 Nov  9 20:51 history

This file absolutely needs to be mode 600.

Workaround: Disable "Save history" in Preferences.


(If it matters, my umask is 022.)
