How about not misusing exec()? 'course not, let's patch our kernels to stop idiots from using exec()!!
Yeah really let's add thousands of lines of broken code to fix a problem that never existed. Just like all these bullshit lkms and other lame excuses for security software that reinvent the wheel. Every kernel since 2.2.13 has had support for Linux Capabilities. This is native to the OS people. USE IT! For fucks sake. I can secure a box with one command line. Not that it'd be useable to much extent if I turned all capabilities off but I'm just pointing out that so many of you are so fucking lazy and unwilling to read the fucking MANUAL that you go off and create some half assed forked software abstraction that micromanages the OS. Is this not counterintuitive? Hey let's have software make sure the OS is not getting hacked. Bahahaha. If you people are running grsec, st. michael, st. jude, yet another st. lkm I seriously think you ought to laugh real hard at yourself for not really looking into how to secure your OS with it's native features. RTFM!!! FFS!!! FOAD!!!! (That's: Read the fucking manual (type man;), for fucks sake!!! Fuck off and die!). But you know I still love you all. peace, core -- Charles Stevenson (core) <core () bokeoa com> Lab Assistant, College of Eastern Utah San Juan Campus http://www.bokeoa.com/~core/core.asc
