Using fexecve for Launch Services - What's Missing?

Explore the challenges and requirements for implementing fexecve (file descriptor-based execve) to launch services in this 23-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the technical aspects of file descriptor-based execution, understand the current limitations, and learn about potential solutions to enable this functionality. Gain insights into the implications for service management and system security as JĘDRZEJEWSKI-SZMEK, Zbigniew discusses the missing pieces in the Linux kernel and userspace utilities necessary to make fexecve a viable option for service launching.
