Serge, Applications should not be making use of /proc, so any bug related to an application reading /proc and implicitly trusting it's contents is a separate bug. However correcting inaccuracy in /proc is worthy of a bug report.
/sys is the file system for applications to be using as a reliable API, though I don't know if I'd personally trust it's contents either. Applications must check for failures when returning from system calls and /proc is no different, the validity of information exposed must be validated to catch failures. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007089 Title: overlayfs alters /proc/self/exe link(s), making result a dead link.
