Subject: Re: TMP flaw in rackspace jclouds?
[bcc: jclouds private list]
I attached a patch which changes ScriptBuilder to use the "mktemp -d"
approach that Ignasi suggested. I verified this against the ec2 live
tests, specifically testCreateAndRunAService, as well as the
scriptbuilder unit tests. I encourage someone more familiar with
compute to test this since I have limited experience with those
services.
The code runs on the target node as Ignasi describes and thus it poses
no risk to the master jclouds application. However, users could run
untrusted software on their target nodes and we should address this in
the next minor release. I estimate a low severity to this issue and
prefer to continue discussion on the public bug tracker. Does anyone
have a different understanding of this flaw?
