9 config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT
10 bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog"
13 This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel
16 If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced
17 unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1).
19 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
22 bool "Enable different security models"
26 This allows you to choose different security modules to be
27 configured into your kernel.
29 If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
32 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
34 config PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
35 bool "Remove the kernel mapping in user mode"
37 depends on X86_64 && SMP
39 This enforces a strict kernel and user space isolation, in order
40 to close hardware side channels on kernel address information.
42 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
45 bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"
47 This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by
48 the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider. It is
49 not used by SELinux or SMACK.
51 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
53 config SECURITY_NETWORK
54 bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
57 This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
58 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
59 implement socket and networking access controls.
60 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
62 config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
63 bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
64 depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
66 This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
67 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
68 implement per-packet access controls based on labels
69 derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are
70 designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
71 to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
73 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
76 bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
79 This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
80 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
81 implement pathname based access controls.
82 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
85 bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
86 depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
88 This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
89 Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
90 Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
91 of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
94 Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
95 initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
96 create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
97 helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
98 correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
101 Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
102 confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
103 it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
104 providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
106 See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
108 See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
109 See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
110 Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
112 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
114 config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
115 int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
116 depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
117 default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
120 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
121 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
122 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
124 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
125 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
126 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
127 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
128 this low address space will need the permission specific to the
131 config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
134 The heap allocator implements __check_heap_object() for
135 validating memory ranges against heap object sizes in
136 support of CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
138 config HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
141 The architecture supports CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY by
142 calling check_object_size() just before performing the
143 userspace copies in the low level implementation of
144 copy_to_user() and copy_from_user().
146 config HARDENED_USERCOPY
147 bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"
148 depends on HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
149 depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
152 This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
153 copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
154 copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
155 are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
156 separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack,
157 or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
158 of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
160 config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
161 bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
162 depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
165 When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
166 hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
167 however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
168 been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
169 trying to find such users.
