Package: tmpreaper Version: 1.6.13+nmu1 Severity: normal User: debian-ad...@lists.debian.org Usertags: needed-by-DSA-Team X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ad...@lists.debian.org
On a Debian server DSA recently got this mail: /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper: error: Failed to lstat() `/tmp/./sortb5dvPX': No such file or directory error: Failed to lstat() `/tmp/./sortDSOyIw': No such file or directory There appears to be a race condition in the case of very short-lived files, first the next directory entry is read, then lstat() is called. If the file was removed in between then a warning will be issued. http://sources.debian.net/src/tmpreaper/1.6.13+nmu1/tmpreaper.c/?hl=452#L422 The warning should be disabled when lstat() returns ENOENT. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
