Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Additional info:

This is a regression against RHEL 8.5.

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-02-14 23:27:14 UTC
The problem seems caused by restrictive permissions on the parent directory:

# ls -dla /usr/share/audit
drwxr-x---. 3 root root 26 Feb 14 23:37 /usr/share/audit

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-02-14 23:29:51 UTC
This seems to be the results of rebase from RHEL 8.5's audit-3.0-0.17.20191104git1c2f876.el8.x86_64 to audit 3.0.7.

Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2022-02-14 23:30:29 UTC
The problematic upstream change seems https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-userspace/commit/39c7458ab9fe8b53c374aeac2c42da5174a775cd.

Comment 6 Steve Grubb 2022-02-15 03:13:15 UTC
I think that was a copy & paste from one line to another without inspecting the attr. Fixed in github and F35. The F35 build also picks up 2 patches. One to use the new gcc attributes for access/deallocation and another to hush some warnings. (The attributes will eventually help gcc analyzer static analysis.) Rawhide & F36 have a problem with SWIG code + gcc-12. I'll fix that when it's known how to fix SWIG generated code. It wouldn't hurt to pick those patches up on RHEL. Might actually find a bug in another package.

Thanks for pointing out this problem.

Comment 7 Steve Grubb 2022-02-15 04:17:26 UTC
To clarify my last statement, only RHEL 9 would benefit from the extra patches. It addresses problems of/depends on gcc-11.
