Security bug in OS X / Cocoa

  • Subject: Security bug in OS X / Cocoa
  • From: David Feldman <email@hidden>

It looks to me like the writeToFile:atomically: routine can overwrite an
existing file, regardless of its ownership and permissions, as long as the
user has write permissions on the directory. Isn't that a little bit of a
security problem?
