Well, trying to get these protections into mainline does seem to be demonstrating a need for some kind of security architecture that isn't LSM. As for chaining, I was considering introducing basic "first non-zero return code wins" chain of LSMs, but the chain could include only up to 1 LSM that implements the proc attr hook (though the prctl handler isn't non-zero but rather non-ENOSYS). -Kees -- Kees Cook Ubuntu Security Team -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
