| config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT |
| bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog" |
| default n |
| help |
| This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel |
| syslog via dmesg(8). |
| |
| If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced |
| unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1). |

| depends on SYSFS |
| depends on MULTIUSER |
| help |

| configured into your kernel. |

| 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 |

| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION |
| bool "Remove the kernel mapping in user mode" |
| depends on X86_64 && !UML |
| default y |
| help |
| This feature reduces the number of hardware side channels by |
| ensuring that the majority of kernel addresses are not mapped |
| into userspace. |
| |
| See Documentation/x86/pti.txt for more details. |
| |
| config SECURITY_INFINIBAND |
| bool "Infiniband Security Hooks" |
| depends on SECURITY && INFINIBAND |
| help |
| This enables the Infiniband security hooks. |
| If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to |
| implement Infiniband 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. |

| implement pathname based access controls. |
| If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N. |
| |
| config INTEL_TXT |
| bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)" |
| depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT |
| help |
| This option enables support for booting the kernel with the |
| Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize |
| Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch |
| of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this |
| will have no effect. |
| |
| Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and |
| initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to |
| create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which |
| helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning |
| correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside |
| of the kernel itself. |
| |
| Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having |
| confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that |
| it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for |
| providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it. |
| |
| See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information |
| about Intel(R) TXT. |
| See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot. |
| See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable |
| Intel TXT support in a kernel boot. |
| |
| If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N. |
| |
| config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR |
| int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation" |
| depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX |
| default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT) |
| default 65536 |
| 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 or have some need to map |
| this low address space will need the permission specific to the |
| systems running LSM. |
| |
| config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR |
| bool |
| help |
| The heap allocator implements __check_heap_object() for |
| validating memory ranges against heap object sizes in |
| support of CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. |
| |
| config HARDENED_USERCOPY |
| bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace" |
| depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR |
| select BUG |
| imply STRICT_DEVMEM |
| help |
| This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when |
| copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and |
| copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that |
| are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple |
| separately allocated pages, are not on the process stack, |
| or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes |
| of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures. |
| |
| config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN |
| bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages" |
| depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY |
| depends on EXPERT |
| help |
| When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP, |
| hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are, |
| however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all |
| been removed. This config is intended to be used only while |
| trying to find such users. |
| |
| config FORTIFY_SOURCE |
| bool "Harden common str/mem functions against buffer overflows" |
| depends on ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE |
| help |
| Detect overflows of buffers in common string and memory functions |
| where the compiler can determine and validate the buffer sizes. |
| |
| config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER |
| bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary" |
| help |
| By default, the kernel can call many different userspace |
| binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel |
| interface. Some of these binaries are statically defined |
| either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration |
| option. However, some of these are dynamically created at |
| runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up. |
| To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these |
| calls through a single executable that can not have its name |
| changed. |
| |
| Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant |
| "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument |
| passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick |
| and choose what real programs are called. |
| |
| If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be |
| disabled, choose this option and then set |
| STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string. |
| |
| config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH |
| string "Path to the static usermode helper binary" |
| depends on STATIC_USERMODEHELPER |
| default "/sbin/usermode-helper" |
| help |
| The binary called by the kernel when any usermode helper |
| program is wish to be run. The "real" application's name will |
| be in the first argument passed to this program on the command |
| line. |

| If you wish for all usermode helper programs to be disabled, |
| specify an empty string here (i.e. ""). |
