Description Allison King 2026-03-17 16:34:29 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Changes/Restrict ptrace by default
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Restrict_ptrace_by_default

By default, disable ''some'' debugging permissions for unprivileged users using a system-wide kernel setting, so malware cannot inspect other preexisting processes of an unprivileged user.  When debugging tools are installed, re-enable ''full'' normal functionality system-wide using a sysctl file, as is the status quo up to Fedora 44.

This is a ''compromise'' proposal to followup several failures to achieve a consensus.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
