Can't update wordpress because of .crt permission error

I'm unable to auto-update one of my wordpress sites because I'm unable to copy the /wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt file.

I get permission denied errors whenever I try to modify the file. Permission set to 644.

This is puzzling because I have another wordpress site that updates automatically with what appears to be the same file and permissions.
