9// This file defines vfork checker which checks for dangerous uses of vfork.
10// Vforked process shares memory (including stack) with parent so it's
11// range of actions is significantly limited: can't write variables,
12// can't call functions not in the allowed list, etc. For more details, see
13// http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/vfork.2.html
14//
15// This checker checks for prohibited constructs in vforked process.
16// The state transition diagram:
17// PARENT ---(vfork() == 0)--> CHILD
