Subject: [PATCH] Uids should not be allowed to set to negative
Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:09:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <489C1B77.5030508@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


Hello Steve,

When I tried to set uid to negative, no error message was outputed and
the return value was 0. In the rule list, the value of uid was also
negative. Negative uid does not exist and the negative user can't be
added. So, I think uids can't be set to negative.

It is also strange that gid can't be set to negative, while uid can.

I did as follows:
#auditctl -a exit,always -F uid=-1
#auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,always uid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all
