Peter, All,

On 2020-08-21 22:51 +0200, Peter Korsgaard spake thusly:
> Fixes the following security issues:
> 
> CVE-2020-14367: Insecure writing of pidfile
> -------------------------------------------
> 
> When chronyd is configured to save the pidfile in a directory where the
> chrony user has write permissions (e.g. /var/run/chrony - the default
> since chrony-3.4), an attacker that compromised the chrony user account
> could create a symbolic link at the location of the pidfile to make
> chronyd starting with root privileges follow the symlink and write its
> process ID to a file for which the chrony user doesn't have write
> permissions, causing a denial of service, or data loss.
> 
> This issue was reported by Matthias Gerstner of SUSE.
