# \[PATCH V38 14/29\] ACPI: Limit access to custom\_method when the kernel is locked down - From: Matthew Garrett \ - Date: 2019-08-08 00:09:24 - List: linux-security-module - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-security-module/2019/08/5681209 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-security-module/2019/08/5681185/t.md ```text 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.
