Technically, an overly restrictive umask is a web server misconfiguration.

If the umask is too restrictive, e.g., 0222, then files created by tempnam() are read-only. This is problematic for libs/Smarty/internal/core.write_file.php, core/CacheFile.php, libs/Zend/Http/Client.php.

A workaround would be to: @chmod($file, 0600) after calling tempnam().

A related issue is when we mkdir/copy with 0755.
