Package: liblockdev1
Version: 1.0.1-3
Severity: important
Hi,
liblockdev creates device lockfiles with full permissions using umask(00).
A quote from the changelog:
> * added change in umask value to allow full permissions to lock
> files. (this is questionable: would it be better to add a
> suid program to check and remove dangling locks?)
This is in fact questionable and even useless as the directory /var/lock/
is ususally sticky. So only root can delete foreign dangling locks anyway.
Suggestion: Remove umask(2) calls and leave removal of foreign dangling
locks to the system admin.
