From f3e62eb87e0a0e9c6fd43c933670447c8ab0517a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cropi Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 14:50:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] conf, report: add syslog_format config option Re-implement the syslog_format option that existed as a Red Hat downstream patch against aide 0.16 but was dropped during the rebase to 0.19.2. Customers upgrading from RHEL 9.7 (aide 0.16) to RHEL 9.8 (aide 0.19.2) received a fatal parse error on startup if their aide.conf contained 'syslog_format = true' (RHEL-178317). The option is implemented as a new REPORT_FORMAT_SYSLOG value in the existing report format module system, rather than as a standalone boolean, which fits the 0.19.2 architecture cleanly. syslog_format = yes/true is equivalent to report_format = syslog Both spellings are accepted; last-write wins. When active, the standard multi-line report is replaced with a compact semicolon-delimited format where every file event is one line: AIDE found differences between database and filesystem!! summary;total_number_of_files=N;added_files=N;removed_files=N;changed_files=N file=/usr/sbin/sshd;Mtime_old=...;Mtime_new=...;SHA256_old=...;SHA256_new=... dir=/etc/cron.d; added file=/usr/bin/old; removed Each line is emitted with a single report_printf() call so that when used with report_url=syslog: exactly one syslog message is produced per file event. The module implements its own unconditional tree walker (not gated on report_level) so added and removed entries are always included, matching the original patch behaviour. ACL and xattr values are formatted directly from db_line fields rather than through get_attribute_values() to avoid embedded newlines breaking the single-line invariant. The original patch's uninitialized 'char *A' in the ACL path is fixed.
