[$] Handling argc==0 in the kernel
Friday January 28, 2022. 04:16 PM , from LWN.net
By now, most readers are likely to be familiar with the Polkit vulnerability known as CVE-2021-4034.
The fix for Polkit is relatively straightforward and is being rolled out across the net. The root of this problem, though, lies in a misunderstanding about how programs are run on Unix-like systems. This problem is highly likely to exist in other programs, so it would be nice to find a more general solution. The best place to address this issue may be in the kernel, but properly working around this misunderstanding without causing regressions is not an easy task.
