Description Daniel Walsh 2010-10-25 13:34:48 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #646443 +++

Description of problem:

Please remove setuid setup of files in your package with file capabilities.

This is to satisfy the F15 feature.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RemoveSETUID

An example of how this was done for X is.


%if 0%{?fedora} < 15
%define Xorgperms %attr(4711, root, root)
%else
%define Xorgperms %attr(0711,root,root) %caps(cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_rawio,cap_dac_override=pe)
%endif

Any movement on this?
Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2011-04-05 16:25:56 UTC 
Pretty much the same as what Colin said in bug 646450 comment 2. E.g. pkexec(1) is used to launch arbitrary programs so it needs to have all the capabilities anyway... so removing its setuid bit and replacing it with file capabilities doesn't buy anything and actually might just give a false sense of security since e.g. "hardening" scripts scanning for setuid helpers might miss it....
