Subject: Re: Vulnerability in 4.4BSD Secure Levels Implementation

I'm not sure I see the value in that particular patch for this problem.

Rather than block out all ptrace access to processes, maybe it is more
appropriate to protect all processes on a system where securelevel > 0
- irrespective of whether or not it's init or immutable - from operations
which could `change' it if it is an immutable executeable.

Anyway, below I've attached what I hope is a "better" patch - allows
ptrace to be used in read-only mode on immutable processes (or init)
where the system is running where securelevel > 0.
