RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
 The following BZ results in the /dev/shm filesystem being mounted with the incorrect 755 permissions:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1246217

This has been noted in multiple different Fedora bug reports.

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

	dracut-network-033-463.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

	Easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install fcoe-utils lldpad
2. dracut -f -v -a fcoe
3. reboot and verify /dev/shm permissions

Actual results:

	# ls -ld /dev/shm
	drwxr-xr-t. 2 root root 60 Dec 15 15:09 /dev/shm


Expected results:

	$ ls -ld /dev/shm
	drwxrwxrwt. 2 root root 260 Dec 15 15:16 /dev/shm

Patch to correct the permissions

The underlying issue is due to:

/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/95fcoe/cleanup-fcoe.sh
#!/bin/sh
# -*- mode: shell-script; indent-tabs-mode: nil; sh-basic-offset: 4; -*-
# ex: ts=8 sw=4 sts=4 et filetype=sh

if [ -e /var/run/lldpad.pid ]; then
    lldpad -k
    mkdir -m 0755 -p /run/initramfs/state/dev/shm
    cp /dev/shm/lldpad.state /run/initramfs/state/dev/shm/ > /dev/null 2>&1
    echo "files /dev/shm/lldpad.state" >> /run/initramfs/rwtab
fi


The above /run/initramfs/state/dev/shm persists across the switchroot as the /dev/shm interface. By issuing the mkdir above as 777, the correct permissions are observed following boot.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1406254 ***

That patch is not correct, it will leave a writable directory in /run which could be a security risk. In fedora we now have a fix in initscripts that we don't modify the directory permissions if the directory exists.
