[PATCH v20 22/23] LSM: Add /proc attr entry for full LSM context

Casey Schaufler casey at schaufler-ca.com
Wed Aug 26 14:52:46 UTC 2020


Add an entry /proc/.../attr/context which displays the full
process security "context" in compound format:
        lsm1\0value\0lsm2\0value\0...
This entry is not writable.

A security module may decide that its policy does not allow
this information to be displayed. In this case none of the
information will be displayed.

 The capabilities security module does not use the general security
 blobs, unlike other modules. The reasons are historical and are
 based on overhead, complexity and performance concerns.
+
+LSM External Interfaces
+=======================
+
+The LSM infrastructure does not generally provide external interfaces.
+The individual security modules provide what external interfaces they
+require.
+
+The file ``/sys/kernel/security/lsm`` provides a comma
+separated list of the active security modules.
+
+The file ``/proc/pid/attr/display`` contains the name of the security
+module for which the ``/proc/pid/attr/current`` interface will
+apply. This interface can be written to.
+
+The infrastructure does provide an interface for the special
+case where multiple security modules provide a process context.
+This is provided in compound context format.
+
+-  `lsm\0value\0lsm\0value\0`
+
+The `lsm` and `value` fields are nul terminated bytestrings.
+Each field may contain whitespace or non-printable characters.
+The nul bytes are included in the size of a compound context.
+The context ``Bell\0Secret\0Biba\0Loose\0`` has a size of 23.
+
+The file ``/proc/pid/attr/context`` provides the security
+context of the identified process.
