Bug 203323 – net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7 tshark dumpcap incorrect perms

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) 2007-12-25 19:11:11 UTC]

installed net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7. the permissions on tshark and dumpcap do not allow execution by users in the wireshark group:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/tshark /usr/bin/dumpcap 
-r-s--s--- 1 root wireshark  50880 2007-12-25 13:10 /usr/bin/dumpcap
-r-s--s--- 1 root wireshark 162180 2007-12-25 13:10 /usr/bin/tshark


the permissions should include g+r.

thanks

CC'ing portage team. Please, tell us why portage removes g-r bit:

 * >>> SetUID: [chmod go-r] /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7/image//usr/bin/dumpcap    [ ok ]
 * >>> SetUID: [chmod go-r] /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7/image//usr/bin/tshark  .  [ ok ]
 * >>> SetGID: [chmod o-r] /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7/image//usr/bin/dumpcap  .  [ ok ]
 * >>> SetGID: [chmod o-r] /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7/image//usr/bin/tshark  ..  [ ok ]

It seems that the code just isn't smart enough to see that it's setting g-r on a setgid binary. I'll fix it.

This has been released in 2.1.4_rc12.
