CVE-2022-38170: Apache Airflow

Medium severity, CVSS 4.7. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Apache Airflow prior to 2.3.4, an insecure umask was configured for numerous Airflow components when running with the `--daemon` flag which could result in a race condition giving world-writable files in the Airflow home directory and allowing local users to expose arbitrary file contents via the webserver.
