Core dumps are currently mode 0600.
Crash dumps (which even more likely to contain material some would
consider confidential) should be, too; however, savecore always
created them as mode 0644.
I just changed savecore to create dumps as mode 0600, not mode 0644.
You can always make them more readable by following savecore with a
chmod in /etc/rc ..
