I've heard numerous people mention the security holes in the /proc
filesystem. From what I have heard, most of the discussion goes on in
the Linux kernel mailing list. However, I don't subscribe to that list.
Right now I am running 1.2.13. Are there any known security holes in
that version? If so, how would I go about patching those holes?
Would someone mind summerizing the /proc security holes that have been
found so far?
Take care,
