From 9d8dad742ad1c74d7e7210ee05d0b44961d5ea16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 19:01:26 -0700 Subject: Yama: higher restrictions should block PTRACE_TRACEME The higher ptrace restriction levels should be blocking even PTRACE_TRACEME requests. The comments in the LSM documentation are misleading about when the checks happen (the parent does not go through security_ptrace_access_check() on a PTRACE_TRACEME call).
