[Bug 1373560] Re: /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin calls sa-update with potentially incorrect umask

[Rasmus Borup Hansen]

I ran into this bug as well and checked if it's also present in Debian.
It appears that from spamassassin 3.4.0-2 the relevant code is:

# Update
umask 022
env -i LANG="$LANG" PATH="$PATH" start-stop-daemon \
    --chuid debian-spamd:debian-spamd --start \
    --exec /usr/bin/sa-update -- \
    --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys 2>&1

When using start-stop-daemon to invoke sa-update the umask is not
changed, so updating to this version will fix the bug.
