Description Marco Benatto 2019-06-27 14:07:33 UTC

Description of problem:

The new binary /usr/libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-ptp-helper was introduced
on gstreamer1 package for RHEL-8.0 with setuid permissions.

During security audit, it was found it supports capability instead.
Given the information above, it's recommended to remove setuid permissions and replace it by capabilities.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gstreamer1-v1.14.0-el8


Additional info:
Capabilities can be enabled by the following configure option:

--with-ptp-helper-permissions=capabilities

it'll probably also be needed to add libcap as Requires and libcap-devel as BuildRequires for this package.
