Hi,
I need to get the permissions changed on program VBoxNATNetwork so that the host and other guests can connect to a given VM. In the past, this code had SUID privilege, but it was mistakenly removed. It should be restored. According to Oracle, I could remove hardening to eliminate the need for SUID, but that would open lots of security holes.
How should I go about requesting this change? Would filing a bug report and assigning it to Security be sufficient?
Thanks,
Larry
Yes assign a bug to the security team for a audit and once the audit is complete you can add the suid bit back. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
