Is it possible to write a regression test for this? |
|
If I recall correctly the original case where I found the panic is as follows:
On Linux PAM will ask the user to authenticate even when the user wants to run su to become itself. On FreeBSD PAM will allow su to be used without authentication when the target is the same as the calling user. I'm not sure how to configure Linux PAM to get the FreeBSD behavior in a test. |

This can cause closed files to be closed again, which will panic and is a violation of IO safety.
This makes it clearer that exec_monitor can only return when there is an error.
