## Description

The filesystem authentication (condor\_io/condor\_auth\_fs.cpp) in Condor
7.6.x before 7.6.10 and 7.8.x before 7.8.4 uses authentication directories
even when they have weak permissions, which allows remote attackers to
impersonate users by renaming a user's authentication directory.
