v1.7-beta1, 2019-01-03
v1.7, in progress (v1.7-beta1 released 2019-01-03)
* **Fix possible symlink race attacks in forward mode** when using allow_other + plaintextnames
* If you use *both* `-allow_other` *and* `-plaintextnames`, you should upgrade.
Malicious users could trick gocryptfs into modifying files outside of `CIPHERDIR`,
or reading files inside `CIPHERDIR` that they should not have access to.
* If you do not use `-plaintextnames` (disabled per default), these attacks do
not work as symlinks are encrypted.
* Forward mode has been reworked to use the "*at" family of system calls everywhere
* Forward mode has been reworked to use the "\*at" family of system calls everywhere
(`Openat/Unlinkat/Symlinkat/...`).
* As a result, gocryptfs may run slightly slower, as the caching logic has been
replaced and is very simple at the moment.
* The possibility for such attacks was found during an internal code review.
* Reverse mode: fix excluded, unaccessible files showing up in directory listings
