More information:

Multiple issues were found in directory permissions that were too broad, and may be used by malicious yunohost users to access other local yunohost users’s data (privacy violation) or to access system secrets (which may be used for privilege escalation).

The fix restricts permissions on the appropriate directories using ACL (which is a more flexible extension to the classical UNIX permission system)
