Title:
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS should be disabled
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Legacy BSD PTYs have been replaced by UNIX 98 PTYs a long time ago.
Disable legacy BSD PTY support as it is no longer needed.
This config option is recommended by the Kernel Self Protection
