--- Begin Message ---Package: dlt-daemon Version: 2.18.0-1 Severity: serious Tags: security Hi! This daemon runs as user nobody, while creating multiple files on the filesystem owned by the same user, which are used as part of its security protection. This is a security issue, given that other daemons on the system might be running as the same user, and worse when dlt-daemon is writing and parsing files from hardcoded paths under /tmp. From base-passwd/users-and-groups.txt.gz: ,--- nobody, nogroup Daemons that need not own any files sometimes run as user nobody and group nogroup, although using a dedicated user is far preferable. Thus, no files on a system should be owned by this user or group. (Technically speaking, it does no harm for a file to be owned by group nogroup as long as the ownership confers no additional privileges, that is if the group and other permission bits are equal. However, this is sloppy practice and should be avoided.) If root-squashing is in use over NFS, root access from the client is performed as user nobody on the server. `--- If you are going to fix this by using a dedicated user/group, please make sure to namespace them with «_» to distinguish them as system users and avoid unnecessary collisions with non-system, users. (Such as _dlt or similar.) [ The version I used is the earliest I found with the same issue from the tracker.d.o page, earlier version might be affected too, dunno. ] Thanks, Guillem
