PRoot v5.4.1

PRoot v5.4.1 shipped earlier this week, with CodeQL, Dependabot, and SonarCloud configured to catch security issues earlier in the SDLC, clone3() syscall support, and a fix for a bad readlinkat() call that could abort an entire session.

Here's what you need to know:

  • CodeQL and Dependabot are now enabled on the repository, and SonarCloud was configured for automatic PR analysis, to catch security issues sooner.

  • PRoot now recognizes the clone3() syscall, which newer versions of glibc use instead of clone() to create processes and threads.

  • Fixed a bug where a bad readlinkat() call could abort the entire PRoot session, halting every process running under it instead of just the one that triggered the error.
