[Bug 1845637] Re: Drop setting fs.protected_regular and fs.protected_fifos from sysctl defaults shipped by systemd

[Balint Reczey]

Those defaults should probably be set by Linux, hence marking linux package as affected.
With the systemd packaging dropping the new setting originating from systemd upstream Ubuntu's defaults become less secure in this area compared to other distros leaving upstream defaults applied, thus I also mark this bug as a public security issue.

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Information type changed from Public to Public Security
