28 2007-12-29 Frank Benkstein <frank-vlock@benkstein.net>

33 are now silently stripped from erroneous names instead of reported as errors.
34 * Fixed a file descriptor leak in script handling.
35 * Fixed a bug where vlock would run in an infinite loop if not started from
36 a terminal. Now it simply exits.
37 * Added unit tests (using cunit).
39 2007-11-28 Frank Benkstein <frank-vlock@benkstein.net>
43 * A critical security problem (local root exploit) was fixed:
44 Previous versions of vlock (since 2.2 alpha1) contained a serious flaw
45 that allowed any user to execute arbitrary code as root . This was
46 possible because plugin names could contain "../" thus escaping the
47 pre-defined plugin directory. All users of vlock 2.2 development versions
48 are advised to update.

50 * Added two more scripts.
