[RFC PATCH 4/4] scsi: lock out SG_IO by default to unprivileged users

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Move policy on SG_IO access to userspace.  Some level of checking
at the kernel level (compared to just having an opt-out for the
default whitelist) is needed because any userspace whitelist is too
easily circumvented by doing ptrace on the program that has a file
descriptor open.  This would be a regression for those who are using Unix
permissions, security modules or the device cgroup to confine programs.

A meaningful whitelist can then be set by udev, for example.

	This is not yet usable, because sg devices do not have a link
	to the queue object.
