Subject: Re: Race-condition ? (was: "Preserve owner and group" on MSDOS/Windows)
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2005 00:46:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1DmP25-0006q9-Gk@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <qlkbr5vdc8i.fsf@clipper.ens.fr> (gaetan.leurent@ens.fr)

    I think lisp calls to set-file-modes should also be checked carefully.

Would you like to check some of them?  The crucial question is, does a
call to set-file-modes introduce a worse problem than what existed
anyway.  For instance, if someone could put a hardlink where you will
chmod it, could he also put a hardlink where you will write the
contents of the file?  In cases where the latter problem exists,
adding the former problem to it does not really make things any worse.
