## Abstract
We introduce , a novel technique for automatically learning system
call filtering policies for containerized microservices applications. At
run-time, automatically learns which system calls a program should
be allowed to invoke, while rejecting attempts to call spurious system calls.
Further, addresses many of the shortcomings of state-of-the-art
static analysis-based techniques, such as the ability to generate tight filters
for programs written in interpreted languages such as PHP, Python, and
JavaScript. has a simple and rob

CVE-2010-4169 kernel: perf bug
Description of problem:
Upstream commit dab5855 ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to mprotect_fixup(). In certain scenario, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service.
