I am getting the following warning while installing any plugin in my rails application.
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active_support/core_ext/kernel/agnostics.rb:7: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777
Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks
Ruby (on all Unixes, including Cygwin) warns if you try to run an external program and your $PATH contains a world-writable directory. It doesn't just check the directories on $PATH: it checks each of their parents, too, because if /usr/local (say) is world-writeable, /usr/local/bin is subverted as easily as if it were writeable itself.
A work-around could be to remove "other" write permission from the relevant directories.
For instance:
- chmod o-w /usr/local/bin
- chmod o-w /usr/local
- chmod o-w /cygdrive/c
This is due to the fact that /usr/local/bin is writable by your application when maybe it shouldn't. You can fix this by changing the permissions on this directory.
