Description Marko Myllynen 2022-08-29 07:20:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
Starting usbguard.service with minimal configuration

ImplicitPolicyTarget=reject
PresentDevicePolicy=reject
PresentControllerPolicy=reject
InsertedDevicePolicy=reject
IPCAllowedUsers=not_allowed
IPCAllowedGroups=not_allowed

aimed to prevent USB usage completely causes this error in syslog (on RHEL 7/8/9 VM running on RHEL 9 host):

And lsusb(8) shows that only the USB tablet which gets added to libvirt-created VMs by default has been blocked/rejected, the controllers are still present:

# lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
usbguard-1.0.0-10.el9.x86_64
Comment 1 Attila Lakatos 2022-08-30 07:53:06 UTC 
It seems like host controllers do not tolerate remove events. I was able to reproduce it manually as well via:

$ echo '1' > /sys/devices/PATH/remove
echo: write error: invalid argument

However, once a host controller is rejected, all of its childs are also rejected even though an error message is displayed.
