1 Rule
AlmaLinux OS 9 must restrict usage of ptrace to descendant processes.
Medium Severity
Unrestricted usage of ptrace allows compromised binaries to run ptrace on other processes of the user. Like this, the attacker can steal sensitive information from the target processes (e.g. SSH sessions, web browser etc.) without any additional assistance from the user (i.e. without resorting to phishing).
