Patch: patch-10516
Release: 20051017
Obsoletes: none
directories that don't have the sticky bit set in a secure way. This update
therefore removes
/var/lib/xmcd/discog
from/etc/permissions*
. Furthermore permissions handling of files below/var/games
is removed. To be able to change permissions ofdirectories in world writeable directories in a secure way a slash must be
appended to the path in the
/etc/permssions*
file. This updatecorrects missing slashes amongst others for
/usr/src/packages/*
.
