--- Comment #11 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Nathaniel McCallum from comment #10) > The clevis-decrypt binary is not executed as root.

Yeah, I think it's a concern, also because the program uses the information received *from* the other binary. Please ping me on IRC when you're around. I saw your ping yesterday after I returned home, but you were already gone... > Yeah, I agree. The main reason I haven't done this is because it makes > in-tree unit testing (after build, before install) more difficult. > Suggestions welcome. I'd add a C define with the full path (using AC_DEFINE or similar), and allow overriding it using a shell variable in non-suid process. const char *p = secure_getenv("CLEVIS_HELPER_PATH"); if (p) return p; else return HELPER_PATH; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
