My system administrators advice me to be careful when setting access control to files and directories. He gave me an example and i got confused, here it is: a file with protection mode 644 (octal) contained in a directory with protection mode 730. so it means:
- File:101 100 100 (owner, group,other: r-x r-- r--)
- Directory:111 011 000 (owner, group,other: rwx -wx ---)
How can file be compromised in this case ?
