Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Please exlain in few words why are you using preload of library libxspreload.so?
(src/mainform.cpp(722-742), src/preload.c)

It is unsafe and it could cause symlink attack.

This is about /var/tmp/yagf.fifo

Sorry for an indistinct description.

libxspreload.so is needed for interaction with XSane. The file 
/var/tmp/yagf.fifo is no longer used.
