write: doesn't check for tty group
write(1) selects a wrong tty, because there is not a proper check of tty group ownership: $ write kzak write: kzak is logged in more than once; writing to tty7 write: /dev/tty7: Permission denied $ ls -la /dev/tty7 crw--w---- 1 root root 4, 7 2008-07-04 00:32 /dev/tty7 ^^^^ $ ls -la /usr/bin/write -rwxr-sr-x 1 root tty 11864 2008-04-02 16:24 /usr/bin/write ^ ^^^ We have to check for tty group owner, because we don't have permissions to write to arbitrary tty. Fixed version: $ write kzak write: kzak is logged in more than once; writing to pts/6 ^^^^ Message from test@nb on pts/7 at 15:22 ... ^C $ ls -la /dev/pts/6 crw--w---- 1 kzak tty 136, 6 2008-07-07 15:35 /dev/pts/6 ^^^ Addresses-Red-Hat-Bugzilla: #454252 Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
