Yes, just confirmed it works on another kernel without the hardening flags upon compile, I'll try to find and see which one prevents the mcfly from working and if there is workaround or not.
I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this in runtime or not, but maybe there is a mcfly
configuration which prevents these calls? Although I don't think mcfly
can work without these... :(

mcfly works in zsh without TIOCSTI I think, but not bash.

I have installed zsh
and I can confirm mcfly works fine using it, bash still has the same problem though.
Feel free to close the issue if there isn't an interest in fixing it, too customized environment, ...
Not sure if this can be fixed, but if so it should be done so I would leave the issue open.
The option is now CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI
in the kernel as of 6.2.0. Leave it enabled as disabling it can bring up too many unexpected broken-ness.
@Tatsh Thanks for taking a look into it, linux-hardened has not been updated to 6.2 yet, I'll report back after upgrading to 6.2 if this issue has been changed or not.

If you disable CONFIG_LEGACY_TIOCSTI
mcfly and other things really strangely do not work.
OK, linux-hardened has been upgraded to 6.4.3 and I could finally test this. It's still not working, but I think this is another issue.
Nothing shows up in journal, but hitting enter still does not do anything.
echo $?
prints 130
.
Capabilities might be useful to allow mcfly admin access without compromising the rest of the system. Still it does not make sense that mcfly should need that level of access. I have not found sufficient information about what other projects are doing about this. Most distros are leaving this option enabled.
Hitting
Enter
does not do anything,echo $?
shows 0 though.I found that it's adding this line in
journalctl
after eachEnter
orTab
:Exiting it with
Ctrl + C
does not have this effect.BTW I use arch :) and linux-hardened (https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened).
