>Description:
filemon(4) does not detect that a monitored process's pid
can be re-used by a new, unrelated process. As a result,
filemon will monitor the events of the (new) process and
all of its descendants without making any authentication
checks.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start filemon(4) for a given target. Let that process
exit (or terminate it via a signal). Create significant
process churn (creation/exit) until the original process's
pid gets reused.
>Fix:
Unknown. filemon(4) needs to be totally reworked.
