This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Still the same situation in F14. $ ls -l /dev/kvm crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Nov 6 14:40 /dev/kvm mode 0666 is unnecessary due to acl's $ getfacl /dev/kvm getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/kvm # owner: root # group: kvm user::rw- user:andrew:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::rw- The /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules file only gives access to the currently logged in user. 80-kvm.rules gives access to *all* users on the machine. The latter *is* the intended behaviour, because access to /dev/kvm is not security sensitive. |
Description of problem: On F12 there is a file /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules which contains the following SUBSYSTEM=="misc", KERNEL=="kvm", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1" which gives the following crw-rw----+ 1 root root 10, 232 2009-12-03 14:13 /dev/kvm and the currently logged in user is added into the ACL and that's fine. However qemu-system-x86-0.11.0-11.fc12.x86_64 has decided to bring along its own udev rule file. /etc/udev/rules.d/80-kvm.rules which contains KERNEL=="kvm", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0666" and leads to crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Dec 3 11:53 /dev/kvm Not so good.
