Comment 2 Eric Paris 2006-09-28 17:59:33 UTC
I sent an e-mail directly to the ibm reporter to ask this question (since I was
apparently supposed to have all this fixed by last monday) but should follow
process as well.

By "invalid" do they mean the usage of > or < ?  I assume they believe that only
= or != should be allowed?  If so this should be done in userspace in the
auditctl utility in audit_rule_fieldpair_data() by returning -12 and explaining
it in an error inside setopt.   This should not be a kernel fix.

Comment 3 Steve Grubb 2006-09-28 18:06:51 UTC
only = and != are valid for arch field. This needs to be in the kernel since
anyone could use an old audit tool or write their own.

Comment 4 Jay Turner 2006-09-29 16:45:49 UTC
QE ack for RHEL5B2.  Related to 14b of the release criteria.
