Subject: [PATCH 09/12] proc: disable mem_write after exec
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:49:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300045764-24168-10-git-send-email-wilsons@start.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1300045764-24168-1-git-send-email-wilsons@start.ca>

This change makes mem_write() observe the same constraints as mem_read().  This
is particularly important for mem_write as an accidental leak of the fd across
an exec could result in arbitrary modification of the target process' memory.
IOW, /proc/pid/mem is implicitly close-on-exec.
