Reopening, Wouter Hanegraaff from OpenOfficeNL is complaining about it. Citation: "Yesterday, I tried searching /proc/kcore when a crashed application didn't save it's data before crashing. Although this has worked many times before, it didn't right now: all I got was a tiny bit of data, followed by the error Operation not permitted.
How to reproduce: - start ubuntu dapper, newest kernel - type: cat /proc/kcore >/tmp/file as root This was reported as https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/55804 Denying access to /proc/kcore is not a security feature, it's a bug! I've rescued lost data many times by just searching /proc/kcore. Please fix this in the next kernel update for ubuntu dapper.
