I hope its ok to ask a noob question? |

I saw this portage bug (marked critical) and wondered |
4 |
if the default installation of either grsecurity or |
5 |
selinux flavor of hardened Gentoo would protect .. |

Then I am curious what would be the recommended path |
10 |
to add protection, if the default setup did not |
11 |
protect from this class of exploits? It seems tricky |
12 |
to me, since ordinary users generally are allowed to |
13 |
write to /tmp, and the security context / userid of |
14 |
the portage user would allow emerge's to scribble in |
15 |
places that ordinary users should not. |
16 |
|
17 |
It seems non-trivial to setup a separate /tmp for |
18 |
every user, so what is the best way to avoid |
19 |
hardlink/symlink exploits via /tmp? |
