Re: Userland

Its not a hacker, its a process doing something that was a permitted operation before the patch got applied.

Security folk generally dont grok this. New rules that lock out legal proccesses that are not run by hackers have not "made the system more secure". Lockouts are a security fail. Bugs. They need fixing.

IMHO Too often those working in security take the approach of break first ask questions later. And then expect everyone else to change.
