[comp.unix] mkdir security bug ****FIX POSTED***

doug@letni.UUCP (Doug Davis) (03/30/89)

I just posted a fix to the recient /bin/mkdir security problem that
was posted to news.admin. The fix was posted in both news.admin
and comp.sources.misc.

Those of you who have a setuid'ed root /bin/mkdir, or a non 4.2 BSD (or
greater) system, will most likely be interested in this fix.
