From be595e5e9e9bc8fa3fdd94358b1c92bd8b30b0eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Fehlig Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2022 11:21:45 -0600 Subject: util: Don't spawn pkttyagent when stdin is not a tty My idea was that running pkttyagent unconditionally, modulo checks that pkttyagent itself does to make sure it does not fail, is not going to be an issue turned out to be wrong. Adding back the original check for stdin being a tty helps in some testing scenarios as reported by Jim Fehlig and does not really cause any issues. I originally wanted it in because it also made pkttyagent auth work with redirected input into virsh (with a connection that requires polkit authentication and without a session-wide polkit tty agent, basically making pkttyagent necessary to succeed). But anyone running virsh like that is asking for problems already anyway =) Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander --- src/util/virpolkit.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) Index: libvirt-9.1.0/src/util/virpolkit.c =================================================================== --- libvirt-9.1.0.orig/src/util/virpolkit.c +++ libvirt-9.1.0/src/util/virpolkit.c @@ -235,6 +235,9 @@ virPolkitAgentAvailable(void) const char *termid = ctermid(NULL); VIR_AUTOCLOSE fd = -1; + if (!isatty(STDIN_FILENO)) + return false; + if (!virFileIsExecutable(PKTTYAGENT)) return false;
