OpenSSH-3.9p1 permanently_set_uid behavior on Linux
Aloha,
I'm curious about the following code at line 203 in uidswap.c:
/* Try restoration of GID if changed (test clearing of saved gid) */
if (old_gid != pw->pw_gid &&
(setgid(old_gid) != -1 || setegid(old_gid) != -1))
fatal("%s: was able to restore old [e]gid", __func__);
This causes permanently_set_uid to fail in the following case:
$ su
Password: ????????
