Public bug reported: The script at /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper is supposed to be suid root. I think it would also be useful to have a /etc/qemu/bridge.conf.
Bridge.conf should probably contain a commented example. Or may even better would be to create a default virbr0 bridge and just add that to the bridge.conf. Maybe use IPs from one of the test nets for ipv4 and something appropriate from ipv6 private space. Here's an RFC that lists all the reserved private nets. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6890 For more info on the qemu stuff, please see https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/HelperNetworking. ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882420 Title: Please make qemu-bridge-helper suid as suggested in the qemu docs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1882420/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
