growisofs stopped working with 2.6.8

growisofs stopped working with 2.6.8

[Tony A. Lambley]

Hi, burning a dvd iso now fails :(

$ growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=file.iso
:-( unable to GET CONFIGURATION: Operation not permitted
:-( non-MMC unit?

Reverting back to 2.6.7 allows burning to work again. I've googled and
it would appear I'm not the only one with this.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

We fixed some security holes. In doing so we tightened up so a few apps
that worked before no longer work except as root. Thanks for the error
message. Thats helpful as it suggests the following patch.

(and does it help K3B ?)

It still fails, but I get a different message with the patch:

$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=file.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=file.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
:-( unable to PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL: Operation not permitted

K3B fails with the same message as above.

As you say, it does indeed burn fine as root.

The patch below is needed for a start, but it's not enough, because
growisofs opens the device in read-only mode, so WRITE_10 fails
anyway.

In case it's helpful, when running growisofs setuid from a normal user
account (with write access to the device node), the error is:

:-( unable to PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL: Operation not permitted

Should locking the drive door be allowed for normal users?
