Yes, this protection could make those processes fail too many syscalls. I
agree: it would be better to have all syscalls return 0 with a seccomp
filter. I have updated the patch:


Subject: [PATCH] exec: Fix most outstanding security bugs
From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

Over the last 20 years, the Linux kernel has accumulated hundreds if
not thousands of security vulnerabilities.

One common pattern in most of these security related reports is processes
called "syzkaller", "trinity" or "syz-executor" opening files and then
abuse kernel interfaces causing kernel crashes or even worse threats
using memory overwrites or by exploiting race conditions.

Hunting down these bugs has become time consuming and very expensive,
so we've decided to put an end to it.

If one of the above mentioned processes tries to execute a system
call, the call will be skipped but will return zero. This will keep
the process happy without changing kernel state, keeping things safe.
