Package: procps
Version: 1:3.3.9-1
Severity: normal
Since 698888 was fixed, to use sysctl --system, a bug in sysctl
makes it that no settings in /etc/sysctl.conf are loaded.
Function PreloadSystem() has this near the end:
if (stat(DEFAULT_PRELOAD, &ts) < 0 && S_ISREG(ts.st_mode)) {
if (!Quiet)
printf(_("* Applying %s ...\n"), DEFAULT_PRELOAD);
rc |= Preload(DEFAULT_PRELOAD);
}
The first comparison is backwards.
This could be grave if admins rely on settings in /etc/sysctl.conf
for security-related issues.
