From 68c4a4f8abc60c9440ede9cd123d48b78325f7a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Schmidt Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2014 20:05:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pstore: Honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on dmesg dumps When the kernel.dmesg_restrict restriction is in place, only users with CAP_SYSLOG should be able to access crash dumps (like: attacker is trying to exploit a bug, watchdog reboots, attacker can happily read crash dumps and logs). This puts the restriction on console-* types as well as sensitive information could have been leaked there. Other log types are unaffected.
