848218: CVE-2012-3492 condor: lock directories created mode 0777 allow for FS-based authentication challenge bypass

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

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.
