Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] SELinux: add selinux_kernel_module_request
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:43:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090813184359.GB8391@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090813134502.29186.7938.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com>
Quoting Eric Paris (eparis@redhat.com):
> This patch adds a new selinux hook so SELinux can arbitrate if a given
> process should be allowed to trigger a request for the kernel to try to
> load a module. This is a different operation than a process trying to load
> a module itself, which is already protected by CAP_SYS_MODULE.
