Description

The downloadable tar.gz of the source of lighttpd 1.4.15 (and 1.4.13) has world writable directories in it. This could be a security flaw on a shared machine as someone could pollute the source before it was built.

Part of the problem is that you/tar is depending on the permissions in the .tar while there's no need to depend on them.

Use a sane umask (like 0022) and there shouldn't be any problems. It is automakes fault anyway :)
