54 implement socket and networking access controls.

60 help
61 This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
62 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
63 implement per-packet access controls based on labels
64 derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are
65 designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
66 to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
67 IPSec.

79 config INTEL_TXT
80 bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
81 depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
82 help
83 This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
84 Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
85 Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
86 of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
87 will have no effect.
88
89 Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
90 initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
91 create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
92 helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
93 correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
94 of the kernel itself.
95
96 Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
97 confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
98 it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
99 providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
100
101 See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
102 about Intel(R) TXT.
103 See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
104 See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
105 Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
106
107 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

109 config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR

111 depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
112 default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
113 default 65536
114 help
115 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
116 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
117 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
118
119 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
120 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
121 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
122 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
123 this low address space will need the permission specific to the
124 systems running LSM.

126 config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
127 bool
128 help
129 The heap allocator implements __check_heap_object() for
130 validating memory ranges against heap object sizes in

134 bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"

136 select BUG
137 help
138 This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
139 copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
140 copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
141 are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
142 separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack,
143 or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
144 of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.

146 config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
147 bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
148 depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
149 depends on EXPERT
150 help
151 When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
152 hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
153 however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
154 been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
155 trying to find such users.
156
157 config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
158 bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary"
159 help
160 By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
161 binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
162 interface. Some of these binaries are statically defined
163 either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
164 option. However, some of these are dynamically created at
165 runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
166 To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
167 calls through a single executable that can not have its name
168 changed.
169
170 Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
171 "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
172 passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick
173 and choose what real programs are called.
174
175 If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be
176 disabled, choose this option and then set
177 STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string.
