From 1d1221f375c94ef961ba8574ac4f85c8870ddd51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasiliy Kulikov Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:08:38 +0400 Subject: proc: restrict access to /proc/PID/io /proc/PID/io may be used for gathering private information. E.g. for openssh and vsftpd daemons wchars/rchars may be used to learn the precise password length. Restrict it to processes being able to ptrace the target process. ptrace_may_access() is needed to prevent keeping open file descriptor of "io" file, executing setuid binary and gathering io information of the setuid'ed process.
