Description Florian Weimer 2013-11-19 13:14:02 UTC
ipc.c contains this code:

        if ((filebench_shm->shm_id =
            shmget(0, size, IPC_CREAT | 0666)) == -1) {
                filebench_log(LOG_ERROR,
                    "Failed to create %zd bytes of ISM shared memory (ret = %d)", size, errno);
                return (-1);
        }

Those 0666 permission flags should be 0600.

I tried to create threads with the "useism" flag, but I couldn't reach this code.  I noticed that the final example in the "filebench -h" output does not actually work because it contains a syntax error.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:36:59 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
