Sep 18, 2015 at 21:59 comment added Ángel Can we call an 'infinite long race condition' a race condition? Not really, that's why I called it a “race condition with no race”. The point is that they intended it as a race condition. If instead of /tmp it was a world-readable folder, you would have to exploit the race condition.
Sep 18, 2015 at 11:19 comment added goteguru Can we call an 'infinite long race condition' a race condition? Where is the race? However, because there is no chown just chmod and the file got never deleted, the attacker simply creates /tmp/shadowcopy beforehand and that's all. He will be the owner forever. chmod 600 wont help too much.
