> Ramon, not sure I understand, what are you trying to prevent here? Hello Dan, vsftpd processes open locale files from the "/usr/share/zoneinfo" directory, which are expected to have the "locale_t" type. A chrooted user can create a specially-crafted locale file in "/home/<user>/usr/share/zoneinfo" directory to try exploiting this glibc vulnerability. However, the specially-crafted locale file created will have the "user_home_t" type and not the "locale_t". SELinux rules for vsftpd (i.e. ftpd_t) allowing only opening locale files from "usr_t" directories with "locale_t" type should have completely mitigated this.
