I personally noticed this with a crash file with the following
permissions:
-rw-r----- 1 bdmurray whoopsie 194K Feb 7 15:22 _usr_bin_seeded-in-
ubuntu.1000.crash
whoopsie-upload-all, which runs as root, is unable to append to the
crash file due to /proc/sys/fs/protected_regular being set to 1.
Changing that file to 0 allows whoopsie-upload-all to run. Here's a
simple test case, thanks Steve!
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_regular
# python3 -c "foo = open('/var/crash/_usr_bin_reportbug.1000.crash', 'ab')"
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_regular
# python3 -c "foo = open('/var/crash/_usr_bin_reportbug.1000.crash', 'ab')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/crash/_usr_bin_reportbug.1000.crash'
