Bug#669028: please backport new procfs hidepid option into 3.2
Source: linux-2.6 Severity: wishlist The procfs hidepid option added in Linux 3.3 can be useful as an additional step to secure multi-user systems and I would like to have it in wheezy's kernel. At first glance, the following commits from mainline would need to be backported: 97412950b1 (procfs: parse mount options) 0499680a42 (procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options) a2ef990ab5 (proc: fix null pointer deref in proc_pid_permission()) 99663be772 (proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA) All these apply cleanly (in order) on top of v3.2.15, although I did not check that the result actually works.

Neat. If you get time to test it, I'd be interested to hear the result. Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
