It's worth noting that this couldn't have happened to any mail server running on Plan 9, no matter how buggy it was. Mail servers should run as nobody; mail box files are, in fact, world-writable, and their permissions should reflect that. Go ahead, critique the ergonomics of C's conditional expression syntax. But first, consider that this security model for a room full of terminals in the 1970s, where permission to accept connections on port 25 is also permission to format the hard disk, is totally nuts for a network-connected computer in the 2020s. |
