Just to clarify, the vuln was not mentioned on HN, just the new about it being under a free license. Then I did a git clone, and grep /tmp and pointed on internal IRC that, as usual, there is a ton of /tmp issue (and then Kurt did see and asked where I did see it, and answered on HN (to the question "bk is now opensource").
BitKeeper is under Apache license so here it is. Also a quick look at the source shows a ton of other potential /tmp/ vulns, CC'ing bitkeeper security
for example: https://github.com/bitkeeper-scm/bitkeeper/blob/master/src/utils/bk_version#L1563 There is also a few here: https://github.com/bitkeeper-scm/bitkeeper/blob/master/src/utils/extractor.c but that's the installation script, so unlikely to be exploitable. Or in apply-patch, etc. But there is also a few projects that are bundled (like zlib), and a few scripts that are used only at installation and/or build time, so classifying everything is more work than what I have time to devote for the project. -- Michael Scherer
