From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: dhowells@redhat.com (David Howells) Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 17:32:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 15/30] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down In-Reply-To: <151024863544.28329.2436580122759221600.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> References: <151024863544.28329.2436580122759221600.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Message-ID: <151024874984.28329.11570631406635726091.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-security-module.vger.kernel.org From: Matthew Garrett custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading. Disable it if the kernel is locked down.
