I'm not sure whether this is the right place to write this, but those permission checks look really racy - both the file type test and the file owner UID check. (Besides, I think that an attacker should be able to hardlink a file created by another user into his directory, which would also lead to a bypass of the UID equality check, but I'm not familiar enough with ubuntu to be able to say whether that attack is actually feasible.)
