[dev] [surf] Grave bug reported for Surf in Debian

2012-02-10 Thread Vasudev Kamath
Hello all,

I'm just forwarding a bug reported on surf Debian package [1]. This
bug makes package unfit for Wheezy release.

(I'm not the maintainer of package only did a recent QA upload.)

Just for information

*Grave* doesn't literally mean its a *Grave* bug, but its a severity
 level used by Debian bugzilla [1].

 Grave in technical terms of debian Just means

 "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data
 loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts
 of users who use the package"
 
 In this case its just saying a security hole is present in the software.

Hello Peter thanks for the patch. Can the permission for cookies.txt
can be changed to 0600 instead of 0644?.

For your information. I applied your patch and it was uploaded to
Debian. But I got this mail after it is accepted to Debian. If you can
provide me a patch which will help saving the surf package in
Debian it would be great.

PS: I'm just trying to save surf package on Debian

-   g_mkdir_with_parents(apath, 0755);
+   g_mkdir_with_parents(apath, 0700);

I think you should also downgrade the permissions from 0755 if the
directory exists (in case we want to keep the package alive, which I doubt).
