Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Check for write permission on FD based posix-clocks
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 18:26:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299173174-348-4-git-send-email-torbenh@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1299173174-348-1-git-send-email-torbenh@gmx.de>
pc_clock_settime() and pc_clock_adjtime() did not check
whether the fd was opened in write mode.
It was possible to set a clock, when we only had read
permissions.
for completeness, we would also need to check for Read permissions
on the read operations. but that would be a bit paranoid, probably.
