Review request for Plasma and Tobias Berner. Repository: kscreenlocker Description ------- Setting the PR_SET_DUMPABLE flag to 0 for the security relevant command kcheckpass and kscreenlocker_greet. If one wants to gdb into the running command it will result in: ptrace: Operation not permitted. For kscreenlocker_greet ptrace is permitted in testing mode. As root it's still possible to attach to the process. --- @Tobias: I assume this is a strong linux-ism. Is there a FreeBSD compareable functionality? I'm considering to push this explicitly without an ifdef. It's a new security feature and I want to make non-Linux systems aware of the fact that it adds a new feature and that a replacement should be added. Diffs ----- greeter/main.cpp e4e679e7ef40b319665428281fdba5f4e0b4eb25 kcheckpass/kcheckpass.c fd2d2215bf2199f159a121bb0ce08e7b2b254aaa Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126203/diff/ Testing ------- Tried to gdb into the processes: failed Tried to gdb into kscreenlocker_greet --testing: succeeded Tried to gdb into kscreenlocker_greet as root: succeeded Thanks, Martin Gräßlin
