From: Stefan Berger Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 19:09:49 +0000 (-0400) Subject: dracut-install: preserve extended attributes when copying files X-Git-Tag: 045~65^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fpull%2F161%2Fhead;p=thirdparty%2Fdracut.git dracut-install: preserve extended attributes when copying files Preserve extended attributes when copying files using dracut-install. The copying of extended attributes avoids file execution denials when the Linux Integrity Measurement's Appraisal mode is active. In that mode executables need their file signatures copied. In particular, this patch solves the problem that dependent libaries are not included in the initramfs since the copied programs could not be executed due to missing signatures. The following audit record shows the type of failure that is now prevented: type=INTEGRITY_DATA msg=audit(1477409025.492:30065): pid=922 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op="appraise_data" cause="IMA-signature-required" comm="ld-linux-x86-64" name="/var/tmp/dracut.R6ySa4/initramfs/usr/bin/journalctl" dev="dm-0" ino=37136 res=0 Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger --- diff --git a/install/dracut-install.c b/install/dracut-install.c index fe30bbac0..c0f1c17c7 100644 --- a/install/dracut-install.c +++ b/install/dracut-install.c @@ -294,7 +294,7 @@ static int cp(const char *src, const char *dst) normal_copy: pid = fork(); if (pid == 0) { - execlp("cp", "cp", "--reflink=auto", "--sparse=auto", "--preserve=mode,timestamps", "-fL", src, dst, + execlp("cp", "cp", "--reflink=auto", "--sparse=auto", "--preserve=mode,timestamps,xattr", "-fL", src, dst, NULL); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } @@ -302,7 +302,7 @@ static int cp(const char *src, const char *dst) while (waitpid(pid, &ret, 0) < 0) { if (errno != EINTR) { ret = -1; - log_error("Failed: cp --reflink=auto --sparse=auto --preserve=mode,timestamps -fL %s %s", src, + log_error("Failed: cp --reflink=auto --sparse=auto --preserve=mode,timestamps,xattr -fL %s %s", src, dst); break; }
