Linux-Kernel-2.6.34-rc3

The kernel allows processes to access the internal .reiserfspriv directory at the top of a reiserfs filesystem which is used to store xattrs. Permissions are not enforced in that tree, so unprivileged users can view and potentially modify the xattrs on arbitrary files. import os, sys SHELL = 'int...
