Subject: [PATCH 4/6] UML - Don't allow processes to call into stub
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:47:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071212204759.GA9134@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
Kill a process that tries to branch into a stub and execute a system
call. There are no security implications here - a system call in a
stub is treated the same as a system call anywhere else. But if a
process is trying to branch into a stub, either it is trying something
nasty or it has gone haywire, so it's a good idea to get rid of it in
either case.
