The SECCOMP_RET_KILL mode is documented as immediately killing the process as if a SIGSYS had been sent and not caught (similar to a SIGKILL). However, a SIGSYS is documented as triggering a coredump which does not happen today. This has the advantage of being able to more easily debug a process that fails a seccomp filter. Today, most apps need to recompile and change their filter in order to get detailed info out, or manually run things through strace, or enable detailed kernel auditing. Now we get coredumps that fit into existing system-wide crash reporting setups. From a security pov, this shouldn't be a problem. Unhandled signals can already be sent externally which trigger a coredump independent of the status of the seccomp filter. The act of dumping core itself does not cause change in execution of the program.
