 |
|
Greetings! I just noticed I can no longer run ping as a regular user. Can't tell when exactly that happened though. Any host I would try to ping gives::
| Code: | | ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted |
ping as root works fine. Searching online suggested that ping should either be set with capabilities cap_net_raw=ep or setuid. Triing the former one resulted in:
| Code: | | setcap cap_net_raw=ep $(which ping) |
Setting the suid bit of course "fixes" that but I don't think I should have to resort to this - it never had this bit set. I thought it may be related to the recent updates (kernel 3.19.3 -> 4.0.0), but booting with the old kernel made no difference. The only network related package that was updated in the last month was iproute2, but reverting to the previous version (4.0.0 -> 3.19.0) made no differece either. Here's the output of strace -e open ping -c1 localhost as root:
| Code: | open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4

open("/lib64/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4

and as a regular user:
| Code: | open(0x7fd9ac82cb96, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open(0x7fd9aca2cf92, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

open(0x7fd9ac5d9490, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

open(0x7fd9ac5d94d7, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open(0x7fd9ac270bf1, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
+++ exited with 2 +++

I don't see anything wrong (apart from the error, that is). The fact that baselayout (providing ping) hasn't been updated for a long time makes me think the problem lies somewhere else. Shooting in the dark: ip table looks normal:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 2003 0 0 wlan0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 |
No rules are defined in iptables, all chains default to ACCEPT. I'm out of ideas...
P.S. The whole system is ~amd64

| /bin/ping is provided by net-misc/iputils, and a remerge of that package solves the problem. At least here with a stable 64 Bit virtualbox guest with hardened-sources kernel. Don't know why, only idea would be extended file attributes having been damaged somehow. |

Thank for replying! My bad, indeed it was iputils (I checked, but then I checked another file that was provided by baselayout and it was late at night...)
I thought it may have to do with the extended attributes and the following confirms it:
* Could not set caps on '/bin/ping' due to missing filesystem support:
* * enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel (if configurable)
* * mount the fs with the user_xattr option (if not the default)
I use ext4 and I DID enable xattr a long time ago using:
| Code: | | tune2fs -o user_xattr /dev/sda1 |
but I just saw that CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY was missing from my kernel, so there was no support for it. Don't know how I missed it but adding this to the kernel and reemerging iputils fixes the problem indeed. Thanks! |
