Bug ID: 15838
Summary: dhcp server creates symlinks to /tmp on host
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

In package/dhcp/dhcp.mk this section can be found:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_DHCP_SERVER),y)
define DHCP_INSTALL_CTL_LIBS

        $(MAKE) -C $(@D)/dhcpctl install-exec DESTDIR=$(TARGET_DIR)    
endef    
define DHCP_INSTALL_SERVER    
        mkdir -p $(TARGET_DIR)/var/lib    
        (cd $(TARGET_DIR)/var/lib; ln -snf /tmp dhcp)    
        $(MAKE) -C $(@D)/server DESTDIR=$(TARGET_DIR) install-sbinPROGRAMS    
        $(INSTALL) -m 0644 -D package/dhcp/dhcpd.conf \    
                $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf    

endef
endif

The symlink that is created from /var/lib/dhcp to /tmp seem to cause a symlink to the host /tmp which creates access privilege problems.

Shouldn't the symlink be to ../../tmp rather than /tmp like the misc symlink under /var/lib? See below

cd output/target/var/lib

ls -al
