pkgsrc/security/fsh/pkg: PLIST
Log Message:
Update to 1.1 because of a possible security problem:
The socket creation code in fshd was not paranoid enough. There
were are at least two possible attacks:
- If a malicious user has symlinked /tmp/fshd-<UID> to another
file, fshd will chmod 0700 that file.
- A race condition made it possible for an attacker to create an
unsafe socket directory, so that the attacker can access an
fshd tunnel.
The attacker must alread have a local shell on the computer where
fsh or fshd is invoked.
Other changes:
New timeout option, fixed to work with openssh2, now also usable if
you have to enter a password to connect, and some others.
