[PATCH 3/3] Audit: remove the limit on execve arguments when audit is running

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



    Remove the limitation on argv size.  The audit system now logs arguments in
    smaller chunks (currently about 8k due to userspace audit system buffer sizes)
    so this is no longer a requirement.
