After all capabilities were set (except for CAP_SETGID, CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETPCAP) and after UID:GID was changed we drop the last aforementioned capabilities (we couldn't drop them before because we needed UID:GID and capabilities change). Therefore, there's final capng_apply() call. However, it's return value is not checked for properly. It's typical problem of: var = func() < 0 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/util/virutil.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/util/virutil.c b/src/util/virutil.c index ed3d57662b..aba0aea0ff 100644 --- a/src/util/virutil.c +++ b/src/util/virutil.c @@ -1261,7 +1261,7 @@ virSetUIDGIDWithCaps(uid_t uid, gid_t gid, gid_t *groups, int ngroups, if (need_setpcap) capng_update(CAPNG_DROP, CAPNG_EFFECTIVE|CAPNG_PERMITTED, CAP_SETPCAP); - if (((capng_ret = capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS)) < 0)) { + if ((capng_ret = capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS)) < 0) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, _("cannot apply process capabilities %d"), capng_ret); return -1; -- 2.31.1
