*** Please type your report below this line ***
Due to poor permission checking the tss binary allows local
users to read arbitrary files upon the system.
For example the following reveals the contents of the
/etc/shadow file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tss -a /etc/shadow
The code *should* drop privileges prior to opening
any files, or failing that should stat() the file to ensure
the caller may view it.
