I'm starting to dislike creating a safe temporary directory inside of tempdir. Doing this causes all kinds of cascading problems with the test suite, and with atexit handling (to ensure this temporary, temporary directory is properly cleaned up for both graceful and ungraceful exits).
At this late date I think it may not be worth the extra hassle, especially in light of the comments in LP: #1233521. So I think I will *not* do this but instead ensure that [system]tempdir is root-only (specifically 02700). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235975 Title: Unsafe file and directory permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-image/+bug/1235975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
