AI-suggested

Users should consider manually restricting permissions on nohup.out files after creation or use alternative utilities that enforce stricter file permissions. Monitor vendor advisories for any forthcoming patches or official fixes.

Description

The nohup utility in uutils coreutils creates its default output file nohup.out with permissions that are not explicitly restricted, typically resulting in a world-readable file (0644). This can expose the stdout/stderr output of commands to other users on a multi-user system, potentially leaking sensitive information. This differs from GNU coreutils, which restricts nohup.out to owner-only permissions (0600).
