From 002345925e6c45861f60db6f4fc6236713fd8847 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 15:36:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscalls This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls. By default, the commoncaps will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg file descriptor. For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged behavior.
