World writable directory? /usr/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/examples

GazL · 10-14-2010, 07:05 AM

Code:

gazl@nix:~$ ls -ld /usr/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/examples
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2009-11-30 02:45 /usr/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/examples

Please can someone else confirm this so I know it's not just me before I bother Pat with a bug report?
(64-current)

drwxrwxrwx shows its world writable

d--->directory

first rwx---> read write executable for user/owner

second/middle rwx---> read write executable for group

third/rws --> read write executable for others (world - writable)

GazL · 10-14-2010, 07:19 AM

LOL!

What I meant was: Please can you confirm that it's also world writable on your system.

ponce · 10-14-2010, 07:19 AM

I got the same permissions on that, GazL.

Hi,

I dont have that file on my system,I mean example is not there and also path is different

ls -ld /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 18013 Nov 30 2009 /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/COPYING
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 26440 Nov 30 2009 /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/COPYING.LIB
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 11337 Nov 30 2009 /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/NEWS
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3892 Nov 30 2009 /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/README

GazL · 10-14-2010, 07:29 AM

Thanks ponce. I'll drop Pat a note.

prayag_pjs, that command doesn't actually show the directory itself, which was the bit I was interested in. Thanks anyway.

in My LFS system permissions are 755

Code:

ls -ld /usr/share/doc/mpfr-3.0.0/examples/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-10-08 15:48 usr/share/doc/mpfr-3.0.0/examples/

Regards,

GazL · 10-14-2010, 07:40 AM

Yep, thanks sem. That's what I'd expect it to be. Must be a minor slackware packaging snafu.

Richard Cranium · 10-14-2010, 07:51 AM

On my system (Slackware64 13.1):

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/ | grep mpfr
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root   156 2010-02-23 20:36 mpfr-2.4.2/

EDIT: I should get coffee first.

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/
total 128

Same here.

drwxrwxrwxr for example/

ponce · 10-14-2010, 08:11 AM

seems to be only on current

GazL · 10-14-2010, 08:35 AM

Nope, it's like that in the package for 64/13.1 too. A number of the posts above are looking at the wrong directory.

Code:

# tar -tvf ./slackware64-13.1/slackware64/l/mpfr-2.4.2p03-x86_64-1.txz | grep "examples/$"
drwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2009-11-30 02:45 usr/doc/mpfr-2.4.2/examples/

lumak · 10-14-2010, 09:18 AM

Also odd permissions on 13.1 64bit.. but far less harmful.

2775
drwxrwsr-x 2 root root /usr/doc/syslinux-3.84/doc

2775
drwxrwsr-x 2 root root /usr/doc/syslinux-3.84/manual

find -xdev -type d -perm /o+w,g+w

GazL · 10-14-2010, 09:58 AM

There's a handful of other weird SGID ones under /usr too. try this:

find /usr -type d ! -perm 755 -print0| xargs -0r ls -ld

gnashley · 10-14-2010, 11:08 AM

src2pkg would have warned about those when the package was created...
