Description Eric Paris 2013-05-28 14:39:32 UTC
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=780a7654cee8d61819512385e778e4827db4bfbc

Changed the way the kernel handles unset loginuid's.  In rules we previously allowed userspace to say auid=4294967295 to represent 'unset'

This change creates an explicit field AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to represent set vs unset.  We still support the legacy setting mechanism.  But printing rules needs to be updated.


Set using the old way:
# auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b32 -S kill -F pid=1 -F auid=4294967295

But when you print auditctl doesn't understand the new way:
# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,always arch=1073741827 (0x40000003) pid=1 (0x1) f24=0 syscall=kill

(notice f24=0, that means AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET=0)

You probably want to enable the new field setting rules as well...

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-09-16 14:02:16 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle.
Changing version to '20'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:05:04 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

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 20 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.

Comment 3 Eric Paris 2015-05-29 13:12:07 UTC
moving to rawhide.  2 years since a sane interface was introduced.

Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:47:33 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 12:39:01 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.
