[New-bugs-announce] [issue11355] os.mkdir() and os.mkdirat() don't apply SUID/SGID permissions

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com>:

os.mkdir() and os.mkdirat() use libc's mkdir() and mkdirat(), which can ignore SUID/SGID permissions. This problem occurs at least on systems using glibc. The solution is to call chmod() / fchmodat() to ensure that given directory has been created with requested permissions. I'm attaching the patch.
