Description Christian Roessner 2005-12-06 01:08:56 UTC
I installed a fresh vanilla kernel with latest grsec patches (2.6.14.3). I
configured the system like described in
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/grsecurity.xml

I rebooted the system. Pax is doing fine and the sysctl stuff seems to work
correctly so far. Only gradm -E fails with the following error:

amd64 grsec # gradm -F -L /etc/grsec/learning.log
Duplicate object found for "/lib64" in role default, subject /sbin/gradm, on
line 1 of (null).
"/lib64" references the same object as the following object(s):
/lib (due to symlinking/hardlinking)
/lib64 (due to symlinking/hardlinking)
specified on an earlier line.The RBAC system will not load until this error is
fixed.

Before I had renamed the policy file to policy.dist. So there is no active
policy file, yet. And, yes, /lib is a symlink to /lib64. Same with every lib
combination. So gradm should not worry about this and I think, this is a bug.

I did not find answers in google, gentoo-forum nor here.

Thanks in advance

Christian


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. gradm -E
2. gradm -F -L /etc/grsec/learning.log
3.

Actual Results:  
1.:
Duplicate object found for "/lib64" in role default, subject /sbin/gradm, on
line 132 of /etc/grsec/policy.
"/lib64" references the same object as the following object(s):
/lib (due to symlinking/hardlinking)
/lib64 (due to symlinking/hardlinking)
specified on an earlier line.The RBAC system will not load until this error is
fixed.

2.:
Duplicate object found for "/lib64" in role default, subject /sbin/gradm, on
line 1 of (null).
"/lib64" references the same object as the following object(s):

Comment 1 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-06 01:54:15 UTC
I need to update the gradm in portage later today.
Comment 2 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-06 02:55:19 UTC
nevermind there is already a gradm-2.1.7* in the tree. The error msg listed by 
gradm is pretty clear. It hates your half mulitlib setup. 
You need to edit the policy. Best to probably remove any /lib64 entries.
Comment 3 Christian Roessner 2005-12-06 03:20:20 UTC
There are only two problems:

1.) I am already using the latest version of gradm from portage
2.) There are absolutely no /lib64 entries in my policy file and even changing
them or commenting them completely out, the error still appears. So this is a
problem with gradm itself.
Comment 4 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-06 03:40:12 UTC
Ok problems with a package sruntime unless the ebuild itself is at fault should be 
reported upstream. You may contact Brad Spengler <spender at grsecurity.net> or 
the grsec mailing list and describe your problem in detail. 
Attach/Offer your policy file as needed. Be sure to say your using the current 
gradm with matching kernel.
Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-06 20:56:09 UTC
this is fixed upstream now
