Subject: Re: [PATCH v1] audit: free proctitle in context so it can be set by fork
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 11:41:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727-freischaffend-anzapfen-checken-00706290941d@brauner> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d67349e701acb3125d733f833e6ef2e47c91daae.1785101356.git.rgb@redhat.com>
> Original title: fixes clean proctitle in audit context on exec call
>
> Between the actual process startup (fork systemd) and the executable file
> replacement (exec), systemd sets a temporary file name (executable file
> name in parentheses). If an auditable system call occurs at this point,
> the audit context will latch the temporary process name into the cache.
> This name will not change again. The patch clears proctitle into the
> audit cache when the exec call is made, allowing the new process name to
> be latched.
