The program's in the unhide package (unhide, unhide-linux, unhide-posix, unhide-tcp, unhide_rb, unhide.rb) are detecting and displaying the found hidden processess (mostly malware related), but not doing anything more then that, allowing the mentioned to run.
Since the mentioned processess are hidden, the user is unable to kill them, with gives a serious security loophole and threat. In my case, this leak of functionality causes oftenly a OOM panic.
It would be a good idea if the mentioned applications would provide following functionality (except the existing one):
- permanently unhide the found hidden processess and their files
- automatical kill of found hidden processess
