I think one has to assume if a user has unrestricted sftp access, they can figure out how to do most anything. Even with the upstream hardening patch, it really only protects the sftpd process. Any other processes the user may own could be modified.Not that easily - /proc/$pid/mem requires you to either be the same process or be attached to it via ptrace, I think.
I can't speak for other systems (I don't understand the details), but I can read arbitrary process memory for processes I own in Fedora 20. Does someone know what the typical default is? Thanks. -- JB
