Note this is an information leak and allows reading potentially
sensitive information, such as passwords given on the command line. Eg:
$ cat /proc/13335/cmdline | tr '\0' ' '
sh /tmp/testme --password=sensitive
Would it be possible to use 'owner' match? Eg:
owner @{PROC}/@{pid}/cmdline r,
Either way, I think a comment is warranted above the rule stating it is
an information leak.
