*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Private security bug reported:

When running check_perms, the script fixes the GID for everything,
however it does not fix the UID, which could allow users to still have
access to those files.

Granted, it is a remote possibility, however I feel it is significant
enough to be fixed. I have included a patch in this report that will fix
it as well (as I cannot get Bazaar to play nice with me).

If you have any questions please feel free to ask them, I can be
contacted here, or at [email protected] as well.

Cheers,
