Package: android-tools-adb Version: 4.1.1+git20120801-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
thanks for packaging adb&fastboot.
However I noticed a file '/tmp/adb.log' is created by adb. This is
done in
fd = unix_open("/tmp/adb.log", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_APPEND, 0640);
[ core/adb/adb.c:701 ]
In my opinion this is a dirty hack and not acceptable from a security
point of view, symlinks attacks and the like. At least, if two
different non-root users use adb, the second one is unable (EPERM) to
write that file, potentially missing information.
For the records, I am using a private wheezy backport of
android-tools. No changes were done to the sources.
Regards,
Christoph
