Description Bryan Mason 2010-06-24 23:32:25 UTC
Description of problem:

    When listing audit rules, large inode values may not display properly.

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

    audit-1.7.17-3.el5

How reproducible:

    100%

Steps to Reproduce:

    # auditctl -a exit,always -S all -F inode=`ls -i /proc/cpuinfo \
    | awk '{print $1}'`

    # auditctl -l

Actual results:

    LIST_RULES: exit,always inode=-268435445 (0xf000000b) syscall=all

Expected results:

    LIST_RULES: exit,always inode=4026531851 (0xf000000b) syscall=all
