Torvalds ranted on the Linux developers forum that security professionals concentrated on process-killing rather than debugging.
Cook said, like pull these hardened usercopy changes for v4.15-rc1.
I expect to remove the fallback mode in a release or two.
And I went to great lengths to document each whitelist usage in the commit logs.
I would agree it would be nice to get at least a subset of this in, though.
Linus, what would make you most comfortable?
That is pure and utter bullsh*t, he added.
Im not at all interested in killing processes.
The only process Im interested in is the development process, where we find bugs and fix them.
Some security people have scoffed at me when I say that security problems are primarily just bugs.
:)
Ill make further adjustments and have another go for v4.16.
