[Bug 283110] freebsd-update IDS vs. installed permissions for kernels (444 vs 555)
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2024 15:50:09 UTC
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283110 --- Comment #11 from wbe@psr.com --- My current thinking is that a suitable solution would be to add to freebsd-update something simple like: $ if stat /boot/kernel/kernel | fgrep -e 'r-xr-xr-x' >/dev/null; then echo 'FreeBSD recommends removing execute permission from the files in /boot/kernel/.' echo 'Doing so is backward compatible with previous versions.' if continuep(); then chmod -x /boot/kernel/* fi fi Someone please confirm that "compatible with previous versions" is correct, or change it to "with version # or later." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
