Having a jail log into the base system is a security issue in the making. Can't you do this in a safer way by doing remote logging to the base system rather than having the jail hold on to a file handle that belongs outside the jail? It's certainly possible to maintain these kinds of capabilities, but you would have to convince code reviewers that the same results can't be achieved some other way that's easier to secure. _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
