kern_securelevel_enable set to NO
>Description:
chflags clears all flags supplied on the command line after a clearing flag like dump(!) or noschg, etc.
The error is in /usr/src/bin/ls/stat_flags.c in a loop scanning the arguments. The variable 'clear', which
is used as flag for the prepended 'no' string, is only initialised before the loop begins intead of beeing
reset on every iteration.
>How-To-Repeat:
# touch /tmp/flags
# chflags schg,uchg /tmp/flags
# ls -lo /tmp/flags
-rwx------ 1 root wheel uchg,schg 0 Feb 14 04:29 /tmp/flags
# chflags dump,schg,uchg /tmp/flags
# ls -lo /tmp/flags
-rwx------ 1 root wheel - 0 Feb 14 04:29 /tmp/flags
# chflags noschg,dump,uchg /tmp/flags
# ls -lo /tmp/flags
-rwx------ 1 root wheel uchg,nodump 0 Feb 14 04:29 /tmp/flags
>Fix:
# cd /usr/src/bin/ls
# cvs diff -u
