[PATCH 09/12] uswsusp: Disable when securelevel is set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



uswsusp allows a user process to dump and then restore kernel state, which
makes it possible to modify the running kernel. Disable this if securelevel
has been set.
