+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #187353 +++ This probably isn't an issue under FE non the less this should be fixed since even though we use sgid games and don't add users to the games group a user who manages to get games group rights by exploiting (another?) game could still use this as an attack vector. Unlikely I know. See: http://lwn.net/Alerts/177009/ ------ This presumably also affects nethack-vultures.
(In reply to comment #0) > This presumably also affects nethack-vultures Most likely yes. In the Games SIG, we've come across games likes this before. Fully auditing them is usually not easily doable. In some cases the games can be modified to open say a shared highscore file the first thing in main and then drop all additional rights. Thats not (easily) possible here either. In this case we create a separate group for the game to run under, minimizing the effects of rights escalation to almost zero. I'll attach a specfile patch doing just that shortly.
Created attachment 149767 [details] Patch "fixing" this As promised. Also notice that the specfile could use some cleaning up in general, not to mention that rpmlint doesn't like it much. May I advise a re-review. I would be more then willing to review it.
I'll take care of this tonight. Thanks a lot!
The fix has been sent off to plague on fc5, fc6, and fc7. fc3 and fc4 don't seem to be accepting make plague any more for some reason. :P
