Security vulnerability in daemons_wrap

We have identified a security vulnerability in the current version of daemons_wrap that allows a user to run arbitrary code with elevated permissions.

Since daemons_wrap runs as root, and it uses the user's path to locate the cleartool binary, it is possible for the user to inject a different executable in their path before the real cleartool binary, allowing them to run the code as root on the execution host.

We would like an updated daemons_wrap.c file that fixes this vulnerability.

    The daemons_wrap.c is only used with the Clearcase integration and not installed/enabled by default.
    Sites not using the Clearcase integration are not impacted by this.

    The example source for daemons_wrap is provided to allow a site to customize it's behavior. The use case for the original code was to allow user to control which version of clearcase would be used - thus it picks it up from the users path.

    The simplest fix is to hardcode the path before compilation.

    We accept that example code should not be insecure, and will provide an update via normal support channels.
