Potential warning: 10.3.9 disables SUID/SGID flag
Argh! Why is everybody complaining about this? Every other UNIX under the sun blocks SUID/SGID scripts, and it's about time that Apple followed suit. It's not going to affect anything you do, as nobody produces software that contians SUID/SGID scripts anyway. And for all those people asking "Why?", did you make any effort at all to find out? The first link if you google for "suid scripts" is this article from Tech FAQ that lists the problems.
Potential warning: 10.3.9 disables SUID/SGID flag
I followed the link to "Tech FAQs", and it was rather interesting, but only one of the exploits was specific to scripts, the "-i" exploit, and I tried that one with (ba)sh, (t)csh, and ksh, and it didn't work, I never got an interactive shell--probably the shells themselves know about that & block it. Maybe the exploit would work, but you'd have to work a lot harder than I was willing to do. |
