Subject: emacsclient socket ownership
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2018 12:43:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h9r2g4g340.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Hi,
emacsclient defaults to predictable socket file names in /tmp:
/tmp/emacsUID/server
It checks if the socket is owned by the same user (function socket_status).
If the user is root, however, this check is ignored (master emacsclient
line 1370). Is this not a security issue? Any user can create a socket
/tmp/emacs0/server, and root emacsclient will use it.
