This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The security issue is caused due to the file "root.rules" being created with insecure permissions (world-writable). This can be exploited to cause udev to execute commands with root privileges. SOLUTION: Apply updated packages.
