Then ptrace() isn't, I guess?
But see https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/containers/2018-October/039567.html
I don't care as long as we have a way of getting the fd without the

I was referring to attacks where you attach to processes that run as
your user but might expose in-memory credentials or other sensitive
