This patch adds a new prctl called PR_HIDE_SELF_EXE which allows
processes to hide their own /proc/*/exe file. When this prctl is
used, every access to /proc/*/exe for the calling process will
fail with ENOENT.
This is useful for preventing issues like CVE-2019-5736, where an
attacker can gain host root access by overwriting the binary
in OCI runtimes through file-descriptor mishandling in containers.
The current fix for CVE-2019-5736 is to create a read-only copy or
a bind-mount of the current executable, and then re-exec the current
process. With the new prctl, the read-only copy or bind-mount copy is
not needed anymore.
