- mgaunard 9mo agoOnly serious if you care about protecting from malicious actors running code on the same host.
- redeeman 9mo agoyou dont? I would imagine people that runs for example a browser would have quite an interest in that
- mgaunard 9mo agoBrowsers are sandboxed, and working on the web browsers themselves is a very small niche, as is working on kernels. Software increasingly runs either on dedicated infrastructure or virtual ones; in those cases there isn't really a case where you need to worry about software running on the same host trying to access the data. Sure, it's useful to have some restrictions in place to track what needs access to what resource, but in practice they can always be circumvented for debugging or convenience of development.
- yencabulator 9mo agoBrowsers are sandboxed by the kernel, and we're talking about bugs in the kernel here...
- mgaunard 9mo agoEven if modern browsers lean more on kernel features, initially the sandboxing in browsers is implemented through a managed runtime.
