Linux Security Modules
=====================================
:Author: Casey Schaufler
:Date: July 2023
Linux security modules (LSM) provide a mechanism to implement
additional access controls to the Linux security policies.
The various security modules may support any of these attributes:
``LSM_ATTR_CURRENT`` is the current, active security context of the
process.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/current``.
This is supported by the SELinux, Smack and AppArmor security modules.
Smack also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/smack/current``.
AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/current``.
``LSM_ATTR_EXEC`` is the security context of the process at the time the
current image was executed.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/exec``.
This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/exec``.
``LSM_ATTR_FSCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
creating file system objects.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/fscreate``.
This is supported by the SELinux security module.
``LSM_ATTR_KEYCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
creating key objects.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/keycreate``.
This is supported by the SELinux security module.
``LSM_ATTR_PREV`` is the security context of the process at the time the
current security context was set.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/prev``.
This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/prev``.
``LSM_ATTR_SOCKCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
creating socket objects.
The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/sockcreate``.
This is supported by the SELinux security module.
Kernel interface
================
Set a security attribute of the current process
-----------------------------------------------
.. kernel-doc:: security/lsm_syscalls.c
:identifiers: sys_lsm_set_self_attr
Get the specified security attributes of the current process
------------------------------------------------------------
.. kernel-doc:: security/lsm_syscalls.c
:identifiers: sys_lsm_get_self_attr
.. kernel-doc:: security/lsm_syscalls.c
:identifiers: sys_lsm_list_modules
