11 Description: Checks PATH variable for security
12 Contains two handy programs.
13 chkpath -- Warns about other users who can write to directories on
14 your PATH, or rename them, or whatever. If checkpath gives you a
15 clean bill of health then nobody but you and root can make command
16 names mean different things without direct write access to the
18 tmpdir -- Creates a temporary directory which can't be subverted by
19 other users. Nobody except you and root will be able to read or
20 write to your temporary directory, or make you refer to files
21 outside of it by messing with parent directories.
23 Package: libcheckpath1
25 Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
26 Description: Checks paths for security
27 Walks a pathname, checking every symlink and directory on the way,
28 and issuing alerts if any element is writable by someone other than
29 the calling uid or root. Useful if you're paranoid. This package
30 just contains the shared library. If you want to write programs which
31 use this library, you need libcheckpath-dev.

36 Description: Checks paths for security
37 Walks a pathname, checking every symlink and directory on the way,
38 and issuing alerts if any element is writable by someone other than
39 the calling uid or root. Useful if you're paranoid. This package
40 contains the header files and static libraries you need to compile
41 programs which use the library.
