| 2021-04-03 | activation: Do not dereference symlinks during home directory creation....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/47584>.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (copy-account-skeletons): Do not chown the
home directory; leave this to 'activate-user-home'.
(activate-user-home): Only chown the home directory after the account
skeletons have been copied.

| 2021-03-10 | services: Prevent following symlinks during activation....This addresses a potential security issue, where a compromised
service could trick the activation code in changing the permissions,
owner and group of arbitrary files. However, this patch is
currently only a partial fix, due to a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to
time-of-use) race, which can be fixed once guile has bindings
to openat and friends.
Fixes: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-01/msg00388.html>

Reported by Jack Hill <jackhill@jackhill.us>.
Regression introduced by the combination of

owned by one of the system accounts (thus inaccessible to others), and
/var/run/dbus would be 700 as well, thereby preventing D-Bus clients
from connecting to the daemon.
