From 37de6005f31c0db28ec727f64dc323269fcdef5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serge Hallyn Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 19:12:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: add sysctl to disallow unprivileged CLONE_NEWUSER by default add sysctl to disallow unprivileged CLONE_NEWUSER by default This is a short-term patch. Unprivileged use of CLONE_NEWUSER is certainly an intended feature of user namespaces. However for at least saucy we want to make sure that, if any security issues are found, we have a fail-safe.
