Public bug reported: This is a split from bug 1800976, to make it become more specific to a single failure.
This test will fail with the proposed Xenial kernel. FAIL: test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack (__main__.KernelSecurityTest) kernel addresses in /proc/self/stack are zeroed out ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1341, in test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack self._check_pK_files(self._095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack, expected=expected) File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1199, in _check_pK_files test_function(expected_restricted) File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1297, in _095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack expected, retry=True) File "./test-kernel-security.py", line 1136, in _read_twice self.assertEqual(rc, 0, regular) AssertionError: cat: /proc/self/stack: Permission denied >From Khaled's comment #1 in that bug: The commit "c714676a1 proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root" (part of the update to linux-stable 4.4.160) has changed the permissions of /proc/self/stack to be root- and CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only which is causing test_095_kernel_symbols_missing_proc_self_stack to fail So we might need to fix this from the test case perspective.
