[RFC][PATCH] mingw: avoid mktemp() in mkstemp() implementation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
