On a very quick inspection, the sharable things like this are fs, files, sighand, and io. files and sighand get unshared, which makes sense. fs supposedly checks for extra refs and prevents gaining privilege. io is... ignored! At least it's not immediately obvious that io is a problem. > > > > But seriously, this makes no sense at all.

Chrome seems to just want a totally empty filesystem view, yes? Let's land the nnp+chroot change. :P Only 10 years late! Then we can have Chrome use this and we can unshare fs on exec... -- Kees Cook
