From: Paul Eggert Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 21:35:56 +0000 (+0000) Subject: * NEWS: Fix some race conditions with tar -x --same-owner. X-Git-Url: https://git.dogcows.com/gitweb?p=chaz%2Ftar;a=commitdiff_plain;h=908d78d2082f605318be6b6a774676e3319cf650 * NEWS: Fix some race conditions with tar -x --same-owner. * src/extract.c (ARCHIVED_PERMSTATS): Add a comment saying that S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO might be masked out. (set_mode): Set the mode if some bits were masked out originally. (set_stat): Don't chmod before chown, as that might temporarily grant permissions that we don't want to grant. The chmod was there only to work around broken hosts, so add a comment advising users not to use those broken hosts instead. (repair_delayed_set_stat, extract_dir): Remember to mask out current umask before inverting permissions. (extract_dir): If the owner might change, or if the mode has special bits, create the directory 700 at first, but restore it later. (open_output_file): New arg mode; all uses changed. (extract_file, extract_node, extract_fifo): If the owner might change, omit group and other bits at first, but restore them after changing the owner. --- diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index cdeceac..6e0db4a 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,22 @@ +2006-12-04 Paul Eggert + + * NEWS: Fix some race conditions with tar -x --same-owner. + * src/extract.c (ARCHIVED_PERMSTATS): Add a comment saying that + S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO might be masked out. + (set_mode): Set the mode if some bits were masked out originally. + (set_stat): Don't chmod before chown, as that might temporarily + grant permissions that we don't want to grant.
