Summary

As an inadvertent side effect of an unrelated code change, PRIV_KTRACE was always denied to a jailed root user. Tracing configured by a jailed root user was therefore not flagged as privileged. An unprivileged user in a jail that has permission to debug the target process can modify the jailed root user's ktrace(2) flags, or disable tracing outright. A jailed root user therefore cannot reliably trace unprivileged processes.

Risk Assessment

A jailed administrator loses the ability to monitor processes, which may hinder detection of attacks or security breaches within the jail environment.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor patch that restores proper granting of PRIV_KTRACE to jailed root.
