NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ldns package and not the ldns package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ldns-keygen tool in ldns 1.6.x uses the current umask to set the privileges of the private key, which might allow local users to obtain the private key by reading the file.
