There's been a recent flurry of discussion in comp.bugs.sys5 about a
few specific security pitfalls to avoid in writing setuid programs. I
get the feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Can anyone point us to a more comprehensive guide to how to write good
setuid programs? If you've got something on-line, please consider
posting it; if you know of good book or journal references, please mail
them to me and I will summarize.
And if nothing of this sort exists, perhaps it's time to write one.
Thanks.
