apr-1.7.2/Apache shared memory now world readable?

hi all,

I upgraded to apr-1.7.2 and apr-util-1.6.3 today and ran into an issue where
Apache 2.4.55 would not start any more because it could not open the 
ScoreBoardFile and/or SSLSessionCache. This is apparently caused by this 
change:

  *) configure: Prefer posix name-based shared memory over SysV IPC.
     [Jim Jagielski]

Some of my systems did not have the /dev/shm directory and on most where it
existed, it was a normal directory, not a tmpfs. Creating the directory
fixes the problem but I figured that I better install a tmpfs everywhere.
But if I do that, Apache creates world readable files:

 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 96320 Feb  8 22:56 ShM.5c729b24H72d5072a

I think this is the ScoreBoardFile from Apache. Should it be world readable?
If no: Did I make a mistake?

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer
