[b78c747] | 304 | <para>It is important to note that the files in the kernel source
|
---|
| 305 | directory are not owned by <emphasis>root</emphasis>. Whenever a
|
---|
| 306 | package is unpacked as user <emphasis>root</emphasis> (like we did
|
---|
| 307 | inside chroot), the files have the user and group IDs of whatever
|
---|
| 308 | they were on the packager's computer. This is usually not a problem
|
---|
| 309 | for any other package to be installed because the source tree is
|
---|
| 310 | removed after the installation. However, the Linux source tree is
|
---|
| 311 | often retained for a long time. Because of this, there is a chance
|
---|
| 312 | that whatever user ID the packager used will be assigned to somebody
|
---|
| 313 | on the machine. That person would then have write access to the kernel
|
---|
| 314 | source.</para>
