Bug #: 54167
Summary: [bug] weston-launch's wayland-0 socket can have
insufficient permissions
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: weston
AssignedTo: wayland-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: joe.ko...@linux.intel.com
In a global `umask 022` environment, through the magic of weston-launch a
wayland-0 socket is created in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR that is writeable only by the
owner: root. This makes it difficult for an unpriveliged user to do anything
within that instance.
This is a significant hindrance for the use-case where the compositor is
spawned by a superuser (through an init script or otherwise) but then used by
unpriveliged users.
Work-around is to grant group-write permissions to the wayland-0 socket after
launch to resume operation for unpriveliged use.
