A race condition exists in the Tang server functionality for key generation
and key rotation. This flaw results in a small time window where Tang
private keys become readable by other processes on the same host.

Notes

Author Note
alexmurray For tang 6 and 7 in bionic and focal respectively, the code from src/keys.c and src/tangd-rotate-keys.in is not present, however there is an equivalent src/tangd-keygen script which looks like it needs to be updated to set the umask correctly
