Change Description
Root can bypass read-only file permissions, which made the test failure confusing: a file was overwritten even though it shouldn't have been. This is caused by process capability
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
which root processes often have in Linux. To workaround this, the owner of the file is changed to uid=1000 and gid=1000 (root can do it). If a file belongs to a world-writable sticky dir (like /tmp where the tested file is created) andfs.protected_regular
kernel feature is enabled (a common practice on modern Linux distros), such file can't be overwritten by root.Steps to Test
