| |
Hi,
A year ago, commit abf75a5033d4da7b8a7e92321d74021d1fcfb502 was included to fix a security vulnerability that is related to prctl privilege escalation, and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451). But the commit was just a quick fix to prevent users from calling prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2).
This patch series try to remove code that is related to the value 2 (suidsafe) core dump mode, and also re-implement Hidehiro-san's re-implementation of dumpable using a bit flag instead of a pair (see commit 6c5d523826dc639df709ed0f88c5d2ce25379652).
Thanks, Eugene
