Fwd: Bug#920552: procps: Enable regular file and FIFO protection



Hi Debian Kernel maintainers,
  I have had a request to add some kernel system configuration lines in for procps.  What is the planned changes for the kernel? The previous bug report which got the protection for hard and soft symlinks had a analogous change occurring in the  kernel too, so it was the same either way and was added for non-Debian kernel users.

I can't actually see what the Debian systemd people use for sysctl configuration files, I think they use the procps one so the upstream systemd-sysctl change won't mean much here.

To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org>


Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.15-2
Severity: normal

In analogy with bug #889098, procps should by default enabling the regular file
and FIFO protection added in 4.19 by setting:

fs.protected_regular = 1
fs.protected_fifos = 1

This will be done by default in systemd 241, but as Debian does not use
Systemd's sysctl settings, it should be made in procps.
