Subject: [PATCH -v3 3/3] Security/SELinux: seperate lsm specific mmap_min_addr
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:56:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090729185632.21757.22906.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090729185620.21757.44366.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com>

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable.  This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.

The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
DEFAULT_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.

This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.
