* Noteworthy changes in release 6.7 (2006-12-08) [stable]

** Bug fixes

  When cp -p copied a file with special mode bits set, the same bits
  were set on the copy even when ownership could not be preserved.
  This could result in files that were setuid to the wrong user.
  To fix this, special mode bits are now set in the copy only if its
  ownership is successfully preserved.  Similar problems were fixed
  with mv when copying across file system boundaries.  This problem
  affects all versions of coreutils through 6.6.

  cp --preserve=ownership would create output files that temporarily
  had too-generous permissions in some cases.  For example, when
  copying a file with group A and mode 644 into a group-B sticky
  directory, the output file was briefly readable by group B.
  Fix similar problems with cp options like -p that imply
  --preserve=ownership, with install -d when combined with either -o
  or -g, and with mv when copying across file system boundaries.
  This bug affects coreutils 6.0 through 6.6.

  du --one-file-system (-x) would skip subdirectories of any directory
  listed as second or subsequent command line argument.  This bug affects
  coreutils-6.4, 6.5 and 6.6.
