Package: release-notes Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The "hidepid" mount-options for /proc (as recommended by various online hardening HOWTOs) work with Stretch but cause problems on Buster, and are considered an unsupported configuration by systemd upstream - see #819808, #892585, #897654. So users should probably be advised to disable hidepid before doing a dist-upgrade. Proposed text for issues.dbk: <section id="hidepid-unsupported"> <!-- stretch to buster--> <title>Hidepid mount options for procfs unsupported</title> <para> The hidepid mount options to <filename>/proc</filename> are known to cause problems with current versions of systemd, and are considered by systemd upstream to be an unsupported configuration. Users who have modified <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> to enable these options are advised to disable them before the upgrade, to ensure login sessions work on &releasename;. (A possible route to re-enabling them is outlined on the wiki's <ulink url="https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening#Mounting_.2Fproc_with_hidepid">Hardening</ulink> page.) </para> </section> I can't claim to have tested the advice on that Hardening link on a modern laptop running GNOME-on-wayland with pulseaudio and udisks2 and network-manager and so on, but if it's wrong, we should correct the wiki rather than the pointer. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular packagediff --git a/en/issues.dbk b/en/issues.dbk index 35841ee6..b69e7dbe 100644 --- a/en/issues.dbk +++ b/en/issues.dbk @@ -39,6 +39,22 @@ information mentioned in <xref linkend="morereading"/>. </para> </section> + <section id="hidepid-unsupported"> + <!-- stretch to buster--> + <title>Hidepid mount options for procfs unsupported</title> + <para> + The hidepid mount options to <filename>/proc</filename> are known to cause + problems with current versions of systemd, and are considered by systemd + upstream to be an unsupported configuration.
