Package: sks
Version: 1.1.3-2+b1
Severity: normal
The sks maintainer scripts have a number of chown operations,
including some which are recursive chowns.
When run under a kernel that does not implement linking restrictions
at the filesystem level, this opens a path for privilege escalation
from the sks user to the superuser.
We should minimize the use of promiscuous chown operations in sks's
maintainer scripts.
