Summary of Changes

Hello @elkoniu, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request backports a critical security fix, likely originating from RHEL 9, to enhance the Anaconda installer's handling of sensitive configuration files. The primary goal is to ensure that the file allowing root login with a password via SSH is created with secure permissions, thereby mitigating potential security vulnerabilities. This change involves using a specialized file opening utility and is thoroughly validated with an updated unit test.

Highlights

  • Security Enhancement: The pull request introduces a security improvement by ensuring that the SSH root password configuration file is created with strict file permissions (0o600), preventing unauthorized access.
  • File Handling Refinement: The standard open() function is replaced with open_with_perm() when creating the SSH configuration file, allowing for explicit permission setting during file creation.
  • Improved Test Coverage: A new assertion has been added to the unit tests to specifically verify that the generated SSH root password configuration file correctly applies the 0o600 permissions.

I suggest adding a PR name and a brief summary so that passing reviewers and AI bots know what the PR is about.

Unless this is a cunning play to make people interested and visit the PR page. In that case it is arguable still working. ;-)
