Creation of a new LSM hook that can be used to authorize or deauthorize new USB devices via the usb authorization interface. The same hook can also prevent the authorization of a USB device via "/sys/bus/usb/devices/DEVICE/authorized". Using this hook an LSM could provide an higher level of granularity than the current authorization interface.
Could you please explain me why we need LSM for this? There are tools like usbguard[1] and as far as I can tell it looks like they can do everything for you... Without kernel modification... without matching and storing rules inside kernel.. just pure userspace which uses device/interface authorization Footnote: 1 - https://dkopecek.github.io/usbguard/ Best regards, -- Krzysztof Opasiak Samsung R&D Institute Poland Samsung Electronics -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
