REDHAT-BUG-1006509

First published: Tue Sep 10 2013(Updated: )

Upstream Commit 29fe5d7 (released in 1.1.1) introduced a latent problem for any caller of virSecurityManagerSetProcessLabel and where the domain already had a uid:gid label to be parsed. Such a setup would collect the list of supplementary groups during virSecurityManagerPreFork, but then ignores that information, and thus fails to call setgroups() to adjust the supplementary groups of the process. Introduced by: <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=29fe5d745fbe207ec2415441d4807ae76be05974">http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=29fe5d745fbe207ec2415441d4807ae76be05974</a> Upstream fix: <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=fe11d34a6d46d6641ce90dc665164fda7bb6bff8">http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=fe11d34a6d46d6641ce90dc665164fda7bb6bff8</a>
