From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.2 (like Gecko) Description of problem: cupsd in some situations will create the directory /var/cache/foomatic. For security reasins it's preferable if we can deny such access, if we have two daemons permitted to create such directories then if one was compromised then it could be used for a trivial DOS attack against the other. If the package provides the directory /var/cache/foomatic then SE Linux rules can deny the creation of such directories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Cause XML files in /usr/share/foomatic/db to be read. Actual Results: Daemon attempted to create the directory in question and SE Linux denied it. Additional info:
It's nothing to do with cupsd. system-config-printer creates this directory. I've made the change in foomatic.spec. Fixed in CVS.
