# These are some recommended defaults that users can alter if needed. # For example, developer systems may want to enable kexec for kernel # testing, or disable the ptrace restrictions to be able to gdb attach # to processes without root. # # To replace, create a file of the same name in /etc/sysctl.d. # Avoid kernel memory address exposures via dmesg. kernel.dmesg_restrict=1 # Turn off kexec, even if it's built in. kernel.kexec_load_disabled=1 # Avoid non-ancestor ptrace access to running processes and their credentials. kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1
