Subject: Re: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package/skeleton-init-sysv: Set sticky bit
 on /dev/shm

Ben, All,

On 2024-04-11 17:20 +0200, Ben Hutchings via buildroot spake thusly:
> /dev/shm is a world-writable directory, like /tmp, and should also
> have the sticky bit set.  Without this, any user can delete and
> replace another user's files in /dev/shm.

Indeed, good catch!

> This bug has been present since /dev/shm was added to the skeleton

> by commit 76fc9275f14e "system: separate sysv and systemd parts of the
> skeleton" which went into Buildroot 2017.08.
