[PATCH V37 21/29] Lock down /proc/kcore

From: Matthew Garrett <hidden>
Date: 2019-07-31 22:18:52
Also in: linux-api, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), kcore, lockdown security module, proc filesystem, security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Omar Sandoval, Nicolas Bouchinet, Xiu Jianfeng, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Disallow access to /proc/kcore when the kernel is locked down to prevent
access to cryptographic data. This is limited to lockdown
confidentiality mode and is still permitted in integrity mode.
