From e06173bde0ec9830a296720f8cd7cb2f17b76fa4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Dike Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 22:31:12 -0800 Subject: uml: don't allow processes to call into stub Kill a process that tries to branch into a stub and execute a system call. There are no security implications here - a system call in a stub is treated the same as a system call anywhere else. But if a process is trying to branch into a stub, either it is trying something nasty or it has gone haywire, so it's a good idea to get rid of it in either case.
