For security reasons[1][2] some distros have disabled the ability to ptrace () any arbitary process that a user owns since it allows a remote attacker to use a debugger to examine the memory contents of any process a user owns and collect sensitive data (and set variables to exploit the stack frame, fool policykit etc etc etc all sorts of nasty things). This breaks the ability to spawn a gdb session to attach to compiz and grab a backtrace when we crash, so we need to set the appropriate prctls to let us do this. Note that we only set the prctl in the signal handler _itself_ when we need the backtrace and not when compiz starts (as such is a security risk) [1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-May/030797.html [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace Protection	Sam Spilsbury		13 years ago
