Observation¶
openQA test in scenario sle-12-SP1-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-ltp_syscalls_pre12sp4@64bit fails in
timer_create03
Test suite description¶
A large collection of tests for individual system calls. This is generally considered to be the most important test suit within the LTP. The IPC tests have been filtered out from the syscalls runtest file. They are ran as part of the syscalls_ipc test case.
disabled fanotify07 due kernel pollution
Reproducible¶
Fails since (at least) Build 20191001-2
- Subject changed from LTP Failure in SP1: test fails in timer_create03 to [kernel] LTP Failure in SP1: test fails in timer_create03
timer_create03 is a CVE test added in the new release of LTP. It's failing because the CVE is not fixed in SLE-12SP1. Marcus is currently reviewing whether the CVE should be fixed or not.
Original CVE BSC: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1102851
as far as I see it:
- the old kernel has inconsistent error handling in timer_create, this is shown by the test
- it does NOT have the information leak security issue (it does not expose /proc/pid/timers due to a SUSE configuration setting)
As such: WONTFIX and hide the error on sp1?
yes, wontfix ... and hiding error is fine for me.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
WONTFIX status added to ltp_known_issues.yaml.
I asked before, but where is this magic yaml file?
