PS: once more openwall patches made my life easier :) The ptrace bug can't be exploited with available exploits, because pidof can't find the pid of suid binaries, that are hidden by the procps patch.
And this again brings me to a question that I already wanted to post to the list several times before: Why doesn't SuSE offer an already patched kernel / patched sources in the distribution, e.g. with the OpenWall or the GR-Security Patch ? This would make life easier for a lot of people, I think. I always use the kernel sources from .../people/mantel/next and the SuSE default configuration as starting point for my own kernels, but patching always went wrong because some parts of code is already patched by SuSE. So one would have to use the original sources but then the nice SuSE-enhancements are gone ;) Cheers Bjoern
