[Bug 1450960] Re: dev file system is mounted without nosuid

[Martin Pitt]

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
