Subject: Fix nasty /proc vulnerability
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18b0bbd8ca6d3cb90425aa0d77b99a762c6d6de3;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Fix nasty /proc vulnerability

We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status.  This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.
