Bug description:
The release of Ubuntu you are using (lsb_release -rd):
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
This is a fresh installation of Ubuntu 17.10 from the mini.iso.
I select only default options + [Ubuntu Desktop] installation.
What you expected to happen:
My home folder contains the following folders with correct and safe permissions after the first login:
drwx------ 11 user user 4096 Dec 2 17:40 .config
drwx------ 3 user user 4096 Dec 2 17:39 .local
What happened instead:
I received these folders after the first login:
drwxr-xr-x 11 user user 4096 Dec 2 17:40 .config
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Dec 2 17:39 .local
It is not safe. Any user can access to my .config folders and read for example my mail databases
I'm trying to create a new user...:
sudo useradd -m user2
sudo passwd user2
... and login then.
It has the same problem:
drwxr-xr-x 10 user2 user2 4096 Dec 2 19:44 .config
drwxr-xr-x 3 user2 user2 4096 Dec 2 19:44 .local
