Fix Recommendation

Configure TOSS 5 to restrict using ptrace to descendant processes by adding the following line to a file, in the "/etc/sysctl.d" directory:

kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1

The system configuration files must be reloaded for the changes to take effect. To reload the contents of the files, run the following command:

$ sudo sysctl --system

Check Contents

Verify TOSS 5 restricts usage of ptrace to descendant processes using the following command:

$ sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope

kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1

If the returned line does not have a value of "1", or a line is not returned, this is a finding.
