Hello,
I've just released a new version of the audit daemon. It can be downloaded
from
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/audit. It will also be in rawhide
soon. The ChangeLog is:
- Fix auditd disk flushing for data and sync modes
- Fix auditctl to not show options not supported on older OS
- Add audit.m4 file to aid adding support to other projects
- Fix C99 inline function build issue
- Add account lock and unlock event types
- Change logging loophole check to geteuid()
- Fix ausearch to not consider AUDIT_PROCTITLE events malformed (Burn Alting)
- Fix ausearch to parse FEATURE_CHANGE events
This release fixes disk flushing to work as it was intended. If you use either
the data or sync mode, you might notice a performance change.
This release also fixes a build issue when using a new compiler.
The loophole that we allow for a process to continue when it should fail was
changed to use the euid rather than the uid. This should be more correct based
on the capabilities man page.
Ausearch was having problems parsing AUDIT_PROCTITLE and FEATURE_CHANGE
events. This was cleaned up and now passed the ausearch-test test suite.
This release will also be the beginning point of a new branch, audit-2.4, that
will be lightly maintained for a while. At this point I don't think there will
be a 2.4.6 release, but you never know.
Going forward to the 2.5 release, I would like to make a lot of changes to the
rules and break them up into small ones that can be assembled by augenrules. I
will also restructure a few of the directories and get things ready to start
doing more with the data format. The audit by process name patch will be
applied real soon since a kernel with that work should be landing soon.
Please let me know if you run across any problems with this release.
