2013-12-19Stop partial menu generation in INSTALL fileAllan McRae1-4/+4
The commit d136c6dc resulted in menu text for the "Top" node being added to the INSTALL file on regeneration. As the full menu is not displayed in the plain text file anyway, suppress the menu section completely to avoid the additional text. Also regenerate the INSTALL file to commit a small formatting change introduced in the same commit.
2013-10-30rename configure.in to configure.acMike Frysinger1-1/+1
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time. Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2013-09-10Update pt_chown sections of the manualAllan McRae1-8/+5
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring and compiling" section.

2013-07-21CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell1-0/+12
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal. Pre-conditions for the attack: * Attacker with local user account * Kernel with FUSE support * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however. In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own risk.

The GNU C Library does not support building for i386 therefore we remove mention of this configuration from the INSTALL file.
