GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 130092
insecure temporary file creation
Last modified: 2005-05-10 17:00:43 UTC
modules/vfolder/vfolder-info.c, line 350 tmpfile = g_strdup_printf ("%s.tmp-%d", info->filename, (int) (tv.tv_sec ^ tv.tv_usec)); while in libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-private-utils.c there is a function gnome_vfs_create_temp that does this securely. Depending on the location of the file, this may not be that hazardous, but still it is not on the safe side and it provides another source for unsecure cut and paste code. And then there's the scripts in modules/extfs. Here's to hoping these are never used..
See comments on bug 130091. :) Thanks...
Thanks for your bug report! The vfolder module has been removed in GNOME-VFS 2.10, though, so this one isn't relevant anymore. We'd still appreciate any future bug reports :).
