Re: [mod-security-users] @inspectFile script does not write to files

[Osama E. <oel...@gm...>]

To add to Christian’s suggestion, as you are on Ubuntu 18.04, you might
have an AppArmor profile loaded for Apache2 (a profile doesn't come by
default in 18.04 but is included in either apparmor-profiles or
apparmor-profiles-extra - don't remember which one).  This could be the
reason the command isn’t executed.  Run the following to see if it is the
culprit.  If so, update it to allow execution of your bash script:

grep -i "apparmor=\"DENIED\"" /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep -i
"<path_to_binary>"

Hey Thorsten,

I can't confirm. I'm getting the tmp file as expected.

Do you have permissions restricting the www-data user from writing to /tmp?

The next thing I would do is calling apache via
$> strace httpd -X
and then look for the write operation. (Did not do this myself, but I
reckon
is should be visible).

Ahoj,

Christian
