Hi, busyboxy is creating parts of the directory tree with
incorrect permissions when creating device nodes in nested
directories:

Just a quick note:
find / -perm +0002
should show a very minimal list (/tmp, /var/tmp, some spool dirs,
and symbolic links),

`find -L / -perm /0002` will perform better, following the symlinks.

please run this on your packages/systems to ensure nothing silly
is going out the door.

For that, I'd recommend checking for "-perm /0022": group-writable
directories (primarily) and files are about to cause trouble as well.

It's 2013, I shouldn't be assigning CVEs for this problem still :P.

That's Debian, they are still in the past century... :-)
