[PATCH] seccomp: dump core when using SECCOMP_RET_KILL

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Thu Jan 19 2017 - 23:29:24 EST


From: Mike Frysinger <vapier@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The SECCOMP_RET_KILL mode is documented as immediately killing the
process as if a SIGSYS had been sent and not caught (similar to a
SIGKILL). However, a SIGSYS is documented as triggering a coredump
which does not happen today.

This has the advantage of being able to more easily debug a process
that fails a seccomp filter. Today, most apps need to recompile and
change their filter in order to get detailed info out, or manually run
things through strace, or enable detailed kernel auditing. Now we get
coredumps that fit into existing system-wide crash reporting setups.

>From a security pov, this shouldn't be a problem. Unhandled signals
can already be sent externally which trigger a coredump independent of
the status of the seccomp filter. The act of dumping core itself does
not cause change in execution of the program.
