[REVIEW][PATCH 2/3] exec: Don't allow ptracing an exec of an unreadable file

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

 



It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if we are
already attached there is no enforcement if a readonly executable
is exec'd.

Therefore do the simple thing and if there is a non-dumpable
executable that we are tracing without privilege fail to exec it.

Fixes: v1.0
