Description of problem: patchelf doesn't preserve ACLs and file based capabilities Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): patchelf-0.5-6.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: every time on x86_64 f14 and rawhide Steps to Reproduce: --- [root@pokus]# echo '#include<stdio.h>' > test.c [root@pokus]# echo 'int main() { puts("hello, world"); return 0; }' > test.c [root@pokus]# gcc test.c [root@pokus]# ./a.out hello, world [root@pokus]# setcap cap_audit_write+pe ./a.out [root@pokus]# setfacl -m u:root:rwx ./a.out [root@pokus]# getcap ./a.out ./a.out = cap_audit_write+ep [root@pokus]# getfacl ./a.out # file: a.out # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:root:rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::r-x [root@pokus]# patchelf --set-interpreter `patchelf --print-interpreter ./a.out` ./a.out [root@pokus]# getcap ./a.out [root@pokus]# getfacl ./a.out # file: a.out # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x [root@pokus]# ./a.out hello, world --- Actual results: ACLs and file based capabilities are erased. Expected results: ACLs and file based capabilities are preserved. Additional info: tested on x86_64, probably won't work anywhere, I didn't test it elsewhere nor did I look at the source code
Thanks for the report - I've reported the bug upstream. I'll have a look if they are not responsive.
Sorry for the long delay. Upstream didn't respond, so I've patched this myself. I'll submit the patch upstream if it fixes the problem. It seems to fix the examples above for me. It should be fixed in patchelf-0.6-1: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=276941 Please verify if you can. The patch is here if you are able to verify its correctness: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=patchelf.git;a=blob_plain;f=patchelf-copy-attr.patch;hb=HEAD (self tests still succeed)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
