* CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell2013-07-211-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal. Pre-conditions for the attack: * Attacker with local user account * Kernel with FUSE support * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however. In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own risk.

| | | | | | | | | | | Putting @cartouche inside of @smallexample does not work with HTML output as the former produces a <table> while the latter produces a <pre>. You cannot nest a <table> in a <pre> as the contents are no longer formatted. Since it's entirely unnecessary, and none of the other examples do this, just drop the cartouche.
