File permissions are 574. Note that owners are NOT required to have higher permissions than groups!
But the owner can change the permissions, no?
Not necessarily. In order to change permissions on a file you need to have write access to the directory (i.e. the special file in the parent directory that describes the files present in the directory). The owner of a file does not necessarily have those permissions in a normal directory.
