Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/2] fcaps.eclass: make binaries readable by default
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2024 16:54:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241110215401.128418-2-floppym@gentoo.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241110215401.128418-1-floppym@gentoo.org>

Removing the read bit from suid binaries has questionable security
benefit, and may cause problems for some software.

Users may override FCAPS_CAPS_MODE and FCAPS_NOCAPS_MODE should they
desire the old behavior.

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/938164
