Public bug reported: audit has this ubuntu delta: * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - debian/rules: Disable auditd network listener, with --disable-listener, to reduce the risk of a remote attack on auditd, which runs as root
Turns out this was adopted in debian since 1:2.8.5-1: * debian/rules: On Ubuntu and derivatives, disable auditd network listener with --disable-listener Debian's change is: # Merge the last remaining Ubuntu specific change in Debian: # Disable auditd network listener to reduce the risk of a remote attack on # auditd, which runs as root ifeq ($(shell dpkg-vendor --derives-from Ubuntu && echo yes), yes) CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --disable-listener endif and ours is to add --disable-listener explicitly. d/rules ends up being: dh_auto_configure -- \ --sbindir=/sbin \ --libdir=/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} \ --enable-shared=audit \ --enable-gssapi-krb5 \ --disable-listener \ --with-apparmor \ --with-libwrap \ --with-libcap-ng \ $(CONFIGURE_FLAGS) \ --with-arm --with-aarch64 ${EXTRA_ARCH_TABLE} CONFIGURE_FLAGS gets --disable-listener on ubuntu, and we add it again. The delta can be dropped. Then it's just a matter of checking the other debian changes and, if deemed appropriate, sync the package. ** Affects: audit (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/1961981 Title: Current delta applied twice, not needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audit/+bug/1961981/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
