Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

From debian bugzilla at $URL:


$ ls -ld ~/.surf/{,cookies.txt}
drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 Feb  9 22:59 /home/user/.surf/
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users  406 Feb  9 22:59 /home/user/.surf/cookies.txt

This allows local users to steal cookies.


I consider it as upstream ebuild because anyone is able to change permission without upstream support
