davidg 97/02/17 02:58:05 Branch: sys/kern RELENG_2_1_0 Modified: sys/kern kern_fork.c Log: Pass P_SUGID on to the child of a fork(). It was possible to get rlogin to coredump previously since it (somewhat uniquely) is setuid and forks without execing, and thus without passing P_SUGID the child could coredump and possibly divulge sensitive information (such as encrypted passwords from the passwd database). Revision Changes Path 1.12.4.3 +5 -1 src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c
