From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: casey.schaufler@intel.com (Casey Schaufler) Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 13:34:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] SELinux: Prepare for PTRACE_MODE_SCHED In-Reply-To: <20180926203446.2004-1-casey.schaufler@intel.com> References: <20180926203446.2004-1-casey.schaufler@intel.com> Message-ID: <20180926203446.2004-4-casey.schaufler@intel.com> To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-security-module.vger.kernel.org From: Casey Schaufler A ptrace access check with mode PTRACE_MODE_SCHED gets called from process switching code. This precludes the use of audit or avc, as the locking is incompatible. The only available check that can be made without using avc is a comparison of the secids. This is not very satisfactory as it will indicate possible vulnerabilies much too aggressively.
