| config KEYS | |
| bool "Enable access key retention support" | |
| help | |
| This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and | |
| access keys in the kernel. | |
| It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be | |
| associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption | |
| support and the like can find them. | |
| Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring: | |
| a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access | |
| to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session, | |
| process and thread. | |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. | |
| config KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS | |
| bool "Enable the /proc/keys file by which keys may be viewed" | |
| depends on KEYS | |
| help | |
| This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which | |
| can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the | |
| reading process. | |
| The only keys included in the list are those that grant View | |
| permission to the reading process whether or not it possesses them. | |
| Note that LSM security checks are still performed, and may further | |
| filter out keys that the current process is not authorised to view. | |
| Only key attributes are listed here; key payloads are not included in | |
| the resulting table. | |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY | |
| bool "Enable different security models" | |
| depends on SYSFS | |
| help | |
| This allows you to choose different security modules to be | |
| configured into your kernel. | |
| If this option is not selected, the default Linux security | |
| model will be used. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITYFS | |
| bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem" | |
| help | |
| This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by | |
| the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider. It is | |
| not used by SELinux or SMACK. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_NETWORK | |
| bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks" | |
| depends on SECURITY | |
| help | |
| This enables the socket and networking security hooks. | |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to | |
| implement socket and networking access controls. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM | |
| bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks" | |
| depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK | |
| help | |
| This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks. | |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to | |
| implement per-packet access controls based on labels | |
| derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are | |
| designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized | |
| to communicate unlabelled data can send without using | |
| IPSec. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_PATH | |
| bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control" | |
| depends on SECURITY | |
| help | |
| This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control. | |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to | |
| implement pathname based access controls. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES | |
| bool "File POSIX Capabilities" | |
| default n | |
| help | |
| This enables filesystem capabilities, allowing you to give | |
| binaries a subset of root's powers without using setuid 0. | |
| If in doubt, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_ROOTPLUG | |
| bool "Root Plug Support" | |
| depends on USB=y && SECURITY | |
| help | |
| This is a sample LSM module that should only be used as such. | |
| It prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific | |
| USB device is not present in the system. | |
| See <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6279> for | |
| more information about this module. | |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. | |
| config SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR | |
| int "Low address space to protect from user allocation" | |
| depends on SECURITY | |
| default 0 | |
| help | |
| This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected | |
| from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages | |
| can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. | |
| For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space | |
| a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. | |
| On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. | |
| Programs which use vm86 functionality would either need additional | |
| permissions from either the LSM or the capabilities module or have | |
| this protection disabled. | |
| This value can be changed after boot using the | |
| /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable. | |
