--- Comment #6 from Tor Lillqvist <[email protected]> 2011-12-04 15:06:32 UTC --- > Which systems is that? Well, Mac OS X is the first one that comes to mind. Interestingly, the Mac OS X manpage for plain old access() says: "CAVEAT: Access() is a potential security hole and should never be used" ;) And my point whether "symlinks are the only thing that can make access() misleading" was not security issues, but just simply that I wouldn't trust that access() (or faccessat()), even on the most bleeding edge Linux, would necessarily be able to tell the truth beforehand whether you will actually succeed in actually opening some pathname for reading or writing in various scenarios. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
