From b77d70db659ad3aa662c80cff4475e773a531fbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:32:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: reject "." and ".." as filenames Various subsystems can create files and directories in /proc with names directly controlled by userspace. Which means "/", "." and ".." are no-no. "/" split is already taken care of, do the other 2 prohibited names.
