Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:1934 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE firewalld bug fix and enhancement update 2017-08-01 17:55:15 UTC

Description Miloslav Trmač 2017-05-10 15:15:13 UTC
Description of problem:
firewalld, in most versions which support product-specific policies, at least including firewalld-0.4.4.3-2.fc24.noarch but also in RHEL packages, ships

> /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.desktop.policy
> /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.policy
> /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.server.policy

This does not do what firewalld wants (allow using the *1.policy symlink to choose the active configuration) because polkit simply reads *.policy from that directory, with an unspecified handling of duplicate action IDs.

(In fact the duplicate action IDs trigger a memory corruption, a likely cause of bug 1442840 .)
