The solution is to re-create the ccache after login as setuid() to the user. git-svn-id: svn://anonsvn.mit.edu/krb5/trunk@9084 dc483132-0cff-0310-8789-dd5450dbe970 --- diff --git a/src/appl/bsd/ChangeLog b/src/appl/bsd/ChangeLog index e23fc867b..e6d6bd602 100644 --- a/src/appl/bsd/ChangeLog +++ b/src/appl/bsd/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +Wed Sep 11 17:27:02 1996 Barry Jaspan + + * login.c: fix a security-threating race condition: chown'ing the + ccache to the user can be bad if the user can delete the file + first and make it a symlink to something else.
