Would you mind explaining which filesystem types do you plan to allow? SELinux and the rest of Linux S&M bunch do fuck-all for attacks via handcrafted fs image fed to the code in fs driver that does not expect a given kind of inconsistencies. As it is, validation of on-disk metadata is not particularly strong; what's more, protection against concurrent malicious *changes* of fs image (via direct writes by root) is simply inexistent. So what is that about? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
