Subject: [RFC][PATCH] mingw: avoid mktemp() in mkstemp() implementation
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2022 05:58:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7265e37f-fd29-3579-b840-19a1df52a59f@web.de> (raw)
The implementation of mkstemp() for MinGW uses mktemp() and open()
without the flag O_EXCL, which is racy. It's not a security problem
for now because all of its callers only create files within the
repository (incl. worktrees). Replace it with a call to our more
secure internal function, git_mkstemp_mode(), to prevent possible
future issues.
