Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.166
Severity: normal

Hi,

since the BUILDRESULT creation is done with root permissions, it can be
placed everyhere on the system.

Probably creation and use of the BUILDRESULT directory should be restricted
to places where the user invoking pbuilder/pdebuild has write permissions.

E.g.

NO --buildresult /etc     (exists, but user has no write permissions)
NO --buildresult /etc/p/b/u/i/lderbuildresult   
      (does not exist, user has no create permission (no write perm. in /etc)
YES --buildresult /tmp    (write permission, even if not owned by the user)
YES --buildresult /tmp/p/b/u/i/lderbuildresult   (create permissions)

Andreas
