Re: Fwd: VSFTPD Remote Heap Overrun (low severity)

But how can I state that ftp has access to the users homedir and
not
allow access to user_home_t?
This is a good question. Actually, we shouldn't allow ftpd_t read the
locale files from within user_home_t directories. But now I'm not
sure if this will be possible.
A different file context for /home/(.*)/usr/share/zoneinfo(/.*) in vsftpd policy module would be a feasible solution? 
Will ftpd_t honour this when creating new files?
