Thanks for the redirect to the originals. Sorry for a dup submit Elad.

The bug in question says you have a fix, but some concerns.
 
35226 refers to /cpuinfo. My instance was /proc/self/exe -thats the
only call in java I can see. -I'd argue that pending a more complete
fix, a reference under /proc to .../self/... should be permitted under
any kauth/security checks: its the self-referential PID reference.
