Package: makejail Version: 0.0.5-9 Makejail fails to copy setuid bit. Can't find any way to force this behaviour in the configuration, and I don't believe this is a design feature.
The error seems to occur due to the ordering of the way the file permissions and user/group ids are applied. Pasted below is a copy of the relevant code. #!/usr/bin/python import stat import sys import os import shutil # May be useful to parse correctly some program outputs os.environ["LANG"]="C" def copyStatAndOwner(source,target): # Keep all attributes shutil.copystat(source,target) # Copy user/group info statInfos=os.stat(source) os.chown(target,statInfos[stat.ST_UID],statInfos[stat.ST_GID]) def copyStatAndOwner2(source,target): # Copy user/group info statInfos=os.stat(source) os.chown(target,statInfos[stat.ST_UID],statInfos[stat.ST_GID]) # Keep all attributes shutil.copystat(source,target) if __name__=="__main__": file_in = "test.sh" file_out = "test2.sh" shutil.copy(file_in,file_out) copyStatAndOwner2(file_in,file_out) sys.exit(0) CopyStatAndOwner is taken from makejail, CopyStatAndOwner2 is my suggestion as a fix. Running chown/chgrp from the command line on a setuid file has the same effect, which would seem to be the root of the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
