From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Howells Subject: [PATCH 11/24] x86/msr: Restrict MSR access when the kernel is locked down Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 17:25:51 +0100 Message-ID: <152346395124.4030.8504337214384655170.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> References: <152346387861.4030.4408662483445703127.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: In-Reply-To: <152346387861.4030.4408662483445703127.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: torvalds@linux-foundation.org Cc: linux-man@vger.kernel.org, linux-api@vger.kernel.org, jmorris@namei.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, dhowells@redhat.com, linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org From: Matthew Garrett Writing to MSRs should not be allowed if the kernel is locked down, since it could lead to execution of arbitrary code in kernel mode. Based on a patch by Kees Cook. MSR accesses are logged for the purposes of building up a whitelist as per Alan Cox's suggestion.
