[Bug 297426] linuxulator: linprocfs /proc/self/exe host path breaks execve under Linux ABI
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:57:36 UTC
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297426 --- Comment #22 from Gleb Popov <arrowd@FreeBSD.org> --- As a seasoned porter I can state that deprecating procfs is simply unrealistic unless Linux deprecates it too. There are a lot of software that tries to access /proc in the wild and it is unrealistic that we patch all of them with an alternative libprocstat/libkvm code path. Not to mention that all upstreams wouldn't be happy to accept such patches. What security issues lead to procfs deprecation exactly? Maybe we could solve them or strip some functionality. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
