Description Zoltan Fridrich 2021-09-15 13:21:19 UTC
Description of problem:
IPC access control files override each other if more apply to a user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. let's have a user bob (uid 1000) who is a member of a group bob (gid 1000)
2. create two IPC files, one for the user (Devices=list) and one for the group (Policy=list)
root# usbguard add-user 1000 -d list
root# usbguard add-user -g 1000 -p list
3. restart usbguard daemon and try executing the following commands with user bob
bob$ usbguard list-devices
1: allow ... OK, prints out devices
bob$ usbguard list-rules
IPC ERROR: request id=1: IPC method: usbguard.IPC.listRules: Permission denied

Actual results:
User bob can not list usbguard rules despite being a member of group bob that has permissions Policy=list

Expected results:
A list of rules would show up
