Does this also affect xenial? I have checked the netboot tarball for xenial-updates and linux seems to be 644 as expected. Should we mark it as invalid?

File permission is OK now and the PXE process can proceed normally.

Sorry for the long delay before my answer. I didn't know that I should look into the ubuntu-proposed repository.

I don't think this bug is related to Xenial. I just rebuild my TFTP server for PXE installations and all kernel files (linux) are world readable. The netboot.tar.gz for Xenial were last modified on February 28 and I have never encountered such a problem with Xenial.

It should be marked invalid for Xenial.
