-suid_dumpable:
-
-This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
-or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
-
-0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed
- privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
-1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
- owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is
- intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
-2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
- readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove
- such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons
- core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or
- other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are
- attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.
