8 2007-12-29 Frank Benkstein <frank-vlock@benkstein.net>
12 * Slightly changed the fix for the previous security issue: directory parts
13 are now silently stripped from erroneous names instead of reported as errors.
14 * Fixed a file descriptor leak in script handling.
15 * Fixed a bug where vlock would run in an infinite loop if not started from
16 a terminal. Now it simply exits.
17 * Added unit tests (using cunit).
19 2007-11-28 Frank Benkstein <frank-vlock@benkstein.net>
23 * A critical security problem (local root exploit) was fixed:
24 Previous versions of vlock (since 2.2 alpha1) contained a serious flaw
25 that allowed any user to execute arbitrary code as root . This was
26 possible because plugin names could contain "../" thus escaping the
27 pre-defined plugin directory. All users of vlock 2.2 development versions
28 are advised to update.

30 * Added two more scripts.
