Package: syslog-ng-core
X-Debbugs-Cc: baptiste.camia at synacktiv.com
Version: 3.38.1-5
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

Having the line `destination d_console_all { getvirtconsole(); };` in my
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf configuration file.

If I understand it correctly, this config calls, somehow,
/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/getvirtconsole/plugin.conf which contains
'exec("`scl-root`/getvirtconsole/tty10.sh")' and therefore executes the
/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/getvirtconsole/tty10.sh script.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

I installed the syslog-ng-core package on a server with an auditd rule that
catches unusual execve errors, this rule triggered on the execution of
/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/getvirtconsole/tty10.sh as shown in the
logs below:

```
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(05/15/2024 00:00:15.740:644853) : proctitle=sh -c
/usr/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/getvirtconsole/tty10.sh
type=PATH msg=audit(05/15/2024 00:00:15.740:644853) : item=1

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(05/15/2024 00:00:15.740:644853) : arch=x86_64

ses=unset comm=sh exe=/usr/bin/dash subj=unconfined
key=hids_execve_anormal_error
```

* What was the outcome of this action?

The execution returns a ENOEXEC code

* What outcome did you expect instead?

The execution should not fail

* Fix

Simply patch the shebang as shown below:

```
# diff tty10.orig.sh tty10.sh
1c1
< #/bin/sh
---
> #!/bin/sh
```
