Signaling processes or process groups can seriously affect the stability of
|
|
|
|
|
this application or other applications on the same system.

Accidentally setting an incorrect `PID` or `signal` or allowing untrusted
|
|
|
|
|
sources to assign arbitrary values to these parameters may result in a denial
|
|
|
|
|
of service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the system treats the signal differently if the destination `PID` is less
|
|
|
|
|
than or equal to 0. This different behavior may affect multiple processes with
|
|
|
|
|
the same (E)UID simultaneously if the call is left uncontrolled.
