In order to minimize the burden of reviewing, this patchset implements
only functionality of checking program execution requests (i.e. execve()
system call) using pathnames. I'm planning to add other functionalities
after this version got included into mainline. You can find how future
versions of CaitSith will look like at http://caitsith.osdn.jp/ .
Thanks I've started working my way through this, but it is going to take
me a while.
Thank you for your time.
May I hear the status? Is there something I can do other than waiting?
progressing very slowly, I have some time over the next few days as its a
long weekend here in the US some hopefully I can finish this up
May I hear the status again?



On 5th March 2017, a CTF game was held in an event titled
"CyberColosseo x SecCon" ( http://2016.seccon.jp/news/#137 ). I gave a
simple troubleshooting-like system-analyzing quiz using SSH shell session
where operations are restricted by CaitSith.

Since the VM will be useful as an example of how to configure
CaitSith's policy configuration, I made a downloadable version.

  http://osdn.jp/frs/redir.php?m=jaist&f=/caitsith/67303/SecCon20170305-CaitSith.zip
  MD5: 99bad6936d8cdeb37d0d6af99265a2ac

This VM is configured for VMware Player 12 / 4 CPUs / 2048MB RAM.
An IPv4 address will be assigned upon boot using DHCP service on the host network.
SSH username and password are both "caitsith".

Yes, sorry. I just haven't had time too look at it recently. I am sorry that
it has been so long. I am just going to have to book a day off and do it. I'll
see if I can't get a day next week (getting late but I can try or the following)

No problem. ;-) I assume reviewing a new module takes at least one year.
Thank you for remembering.

I'm still fighting with OOM killer related problems at MM subsystem. ;-)

As one year elapsed since I proposed CaitSith for upstream, I'd like to
hear the status again. I looked at
http://schd.ws/hosted_files/lss2017/8b/201709-LinuxSecuritySummit-Stacking.pdf .
How is ETA for Security Module Stacking? Is it a half year or so?

If it is likely take longer, should I resume proposing CaitSith for now
as one of "Minor modules" except security_module_enable() check added
until Security Module Stacking work completes? Or should I wait for
completion of stacking work? I want to know it, for recent proposals are
rather staying silent.

Regards.

Assuming that I can keep working on stacking at my current level,
and that we can work out a couple issues with audit and networking
there is a possibility we're looking at mid 2018 for stacking. The
increased interest in security module namespaces for containers is
helping make stacking seem important to more people.

I wouldn't wait if it was my project, but I have been known
to be more aggressive than is good for me from time to time.

It seems that stacking needs some more time. Manual with updated patch for
current source code is available at https://caitsith.osdn.jp/index2.html .
John, if you can resume reviewing, I'd like to propose CaitSith as one of
"Minor modules" except security_module_enable() check.

Regards.
