Disable legacy (BSD) PTY support
Medium Severity
Disable the Linux traditional BSD-like terminal names /dev/ptyxx for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals, and use only the modern ptys (devpts) interface. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at
/boot/config-*
. To check the configuration value for
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS
, run the following command:
grep CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS /boot/config-*
Configs with value 'n' are not explicitly set in the file, so either commented lines or no lines should be returned.
