joerg 96/10/13 13:55:49 Modified: sbin/savecore savecore.c Log: Yikes! Originally, i intended to apply the patch from PR # 1322, but Bill has beaten me on this. ;-) However, he missed the part to compute the kernelsize in kilobytes, so the minfree consideration was now overcautious. (I've also changed the return type of dump_size() to void since int was useless.) Being here, the fact that `vmcore' was written world-readable was just a plain security hole: everybody who was able to crash a kernel could later read any confidential information out of it at his will. Create it with umask 077 instead. Revision Changes Path 1.16 +6 -5 src/sbin/savecore/savecore.c
