Bug#23867: Critical permissions bug on /lib and /tmp



You guys have have already seen this, but I thought I'd forward it along
anyway.  Since it's not attached to any specific package, the bug report
could easily get forgotten about.

Severity: critical

Sorry I am unable to provide an exact package or version, since I did a batch
upgrade last night. I only know that it was caused by a package added to /hamm
within the last week (probably the last 2-3 days)

The offending package chmod 750 /lib, screwing up everything not run as root.
(bash, exim, cgi-bin, user accounts, etc, etc)
I also noticed on one of the systems I upgraded, /tmp was changed to 750.
/tmp should be 1777.

These brought my mutiuser server down to it's knees...  : P

Acknowledgement sent to dcinege@psychosis.com:
New bug report received and forwarded.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
