Feedback from upstream at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1265 : Apparently noexec on /dev breaks some drivers which expose memory-mapped devices in /dev/. So retitling for "nosuid" only. systemd already does that, initramfs-tools doesn't yet, but the attached patch needs to be modified to only set "nosuid".
I committed http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg- systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=470c174f so that under sysvinit and without initramfs-tools udev will now mount /dev with "nosuid" as well. This case doesn't apply to Ubuntu, so once again closing the systemd task. ** Summary changed: - dev file system is mounted without noexec + dev file system is mounted without nosuid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450960 Title: dev file system is mounted without nosuid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1450960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
