From: Jann Horn Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:38:30 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fs: Don't dump core if the corefile would become world-readable. X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40f705a736eac10e7dca7ab5dd5ed675a6df031d;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git fs: Don't dump core if the corefile would become world-readable. On a filesystem like vfat, all files are created with the same owner and mode independent of who created the file. When a vfat filesystem is mounted with root as owner of all files and read access for everyone, root's processes left world-readable coredumps on it (but other users' processes only left empty corefiles when given write access because of the uid mismatch). Given that the old behavior was inconsistent and insecure, I don't see a problem with changing it. Now, all processes refuse to dump core unless the resulting corefile will only be readable by their owner.
