auditctl -A entry,always -S chmod

auditctl -A entry,always -S chmod

[Michael C Thompson]

Hey Amy & Steve,

I'm not sure if you two are seeing this, but if you insert a rule to the 
front of the rule list with the -A option, the list it was added to is 
somewhere lost. Can you confirm that you're seeing this as well? I'm 
running with audit-1.2.3 and kernel lspp.34

# auditctl -A entry,always -S chmod
# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: (null),always syscall=chmod

I took a quick look in the user space section of auditctl, but it 
doesn't seem to be a user space issue. My guess is the 
AUDIT_FILTER_PREPEND flag is not being treated properly in the kernel 
since I believe it does make it's way down intact (it at least gets to 
audit_send intact).

Thanks,
Mike

I see the same thing.

Yep, looks like it should be cleared after adding the rule.  I'll send
a patch along in a bit.

Thanks,
