From 588fb2c7e294753d3090a1dc2e7c34e7e3ce5aff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Guy Briggs Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2017 20:57:13 -0400 Subject: capabilities: fix logic for effective root or real root Now that the logic is inverted, it is much easier to see that both real root and effective root conditions had to be met to avoid printing the BPRM_FCAPS record with audit syscalls. This meant that any setuid root applications would print a full BPRM_FCAPS record when it wasn't necessary, cluttering the event output, since the SYSCALL and PATH records indicated the presence of the setuid bit and effective root user id. Require only one of effective root or real root to avoid printing the unnecessary record.
