setuid() time bombs
When the setuid() bug hit vixie-cron I was sure we were going to have a lot more of those exploits in the near future. It seems I was too pessimistic, though; there were only one or two discovered since then, although I think auditors will keep an eye on that from now on. Anyway, I'd like to recommend some (IMHO) good reading:
