Public bug reported: ltp syscalls open10 and and creat08 try to create an sgid executable file inside a sgid directory owned by a group whose members do not include the process user.
That used to work up to commit 0fa3ecd87848c9c93c2c828ef4c3a8ca36ce46c7 ("Fix up non-directory creation in SGID directories"). This was backported to 4.17.9 and so affects the current kernel in cosmic proposed, and breaks such ltp tests. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Canonical Kernel Team (canonical-kernel-team) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Medium Assignee: Canonical Kernel Team (canonical-kernel-team) Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Kernel Team (canonical-kernel-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783877 Title: ltp-syscalls: sgid inheritance for non-directories behavior changed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Bug description: ltp syscalls open10 and and creat08 try to create an sgid executable file inside a sgid directory owned by a group whose members do not include the process user.
