From 71d72ececa086114df80fe4cc04d701b59002eb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Schoenebeck Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 13:49:06 +0200 Subject: 9pfs: deprecate 'proxy' backend As recent CVE-2023-2861 (fixed by f6b0de53fb) once again showed, the 9p 'proxy' fs driver is in bad shape. Using the 'proxy' backend was already discouraged for safety reasons before and we recommended to use the 'local' backend (preferably in conjunction with its 'mapped' security model) instead, but now it is time to officially deprecate the 'proxy' backend.
