leak on entries in hidden dirs

[jj]

I use the acl
{
/etc
/etc/grsec h
}

When i run the system with this,

`ls /etc/grsec` reports No such file or directory (which is correct),
however
`ls /etc/grsec/policy`reports Permission denied
while the answer should be 'No such file or directory' in the absence of a specific acl for /etc/grsec/policy.

I think this is a leak.

This issue is fixed in the development version of grsecurity.

I've already posted this problem to the support forum.

No, the post you made does not refer to the same problem.
You are talking about the appearance of 'grsec' in the listing of /etc, which is of course a bug, but not the one i am talking about.

The bug i talk about was already present in the 2.0 if i remember correctly, and it is the fact that an attempt to acces an existing file in a hidden directory returns -EPERM instead of -ENOENT.

Sorry, I've misunderstood you.

You're right, of course. It's another bug.

That problem has been solved along with the other filldir problem however.
