Hi Bardur,
Even if your assumption about pacman is correct: Just let the
malicious
PKGBUILD write a file into /etc/cron.d/, /etc/systemd or something
like that
and you're doomed. No need for privilege escalation.
Ah, yes. True, of course. I knew I'd missed something! :)
Hm. Rethinking this I was going to say something about listing (and
screening) all the files that a package *would* install, but it seems
that it's not possible to list files installed by a package before
installing it...?
(pacman -Ql only accepts installed packages, apparently.)
Regards,
Use the -p option, ie pacman -Qlp <packagefile>
