Subject: movemail broken on MS-Windows
Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:42:34 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83bpe1x3md.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
This change breaks movemail on Windows:
revno: 99810
committer: Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Fri 2010-04-02 11:26:24 -0400
message:
Fix permissions handling (CVE-2010-0825).
* movemail.c (main): Check return values of setuid. Avoid
possibility of symlink attack when movemail is setgid mail
(CVE-2010-0825).
The reason is that Windows does not have setegid. (I'd suggest to add
a stub for it, just like we do with setuid.)
