9config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT
10	bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog"
11	default n
12	help
13	  This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel
14	  syslog via dmesg(8).
15
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.

21config SECURITY
22	bool "Enable different security models"
23	depends on SYSFS
24	depends on MULTIUSER
25	help
26	  This allows you to choose different security modules to be
27	  configured into your kernel.
28
29	  If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
30	  model will be used.
31
32	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.

34config SECURITY_WRITABLE_HOOKS
35	depends on SECURITY
36	bool
37	default n
38
39config SECURITYFS
40	bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"
41	help
42	  This will build the securityfs filesystem.  It is currently used by
43	  the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider.  It is
44	  not used by SELinux or SMACK.
45
46	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
47
48config SECURITY_NETWORK
49	bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
50	depends on SECURITY
51	help
52	  This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
53	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
54	  implement socket and networking access controls.
55	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
56
57config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
58	bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
59	depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
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.
68	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
69
70config SECURITY_PATH
71	bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
72	depends on SECURITY
73	help
74	  This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
75	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
76	  implement pathname based access controls.
77	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
78
79config 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.
108
109config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
110	int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
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.
125
126config 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
131	  support of CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
132
133config HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
134	bool
135	help
136	  The architecture supports CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY by
137	  calling check_object_size() just before performing the
138	  userspace copies in the low level implementation of
139	  copy_to_user() and copy_from_user().
140
141config HARDENED_USERCOPY
142	bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"
143	depends on HAVE_ARCH_HARDENED_USERCOPY
144	depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
145	select BUG
146	help
147	  This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
148	  copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
149	  copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
150	  are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
151	  separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack,
152	  or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
153	  of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
154
155config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
156	bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
157	depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
158	depends on EXPERT
159	help
160	  When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
161	  hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
162	  however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
163	  been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
164	  trying to find such users.
165
166config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
167	bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary"
168	help
169	  By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
170	  binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
171	  interface.  Some of these binaries are statically defined
172	  either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
173	  option.  However, some of these are dynamically created at
174	  runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
175	  To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
176	  calls through a single executable that can not have its name
177	  changed.
178
179	  Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
180	  "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
181	  passed to it.  If desired, this program can filter and pick
182	  and choose what real programs are called.
183
184	  If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be
185	  disabled, choose this option and then set
186	  STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string.
187
188config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH
189	string "Path to the static usermode helper binary"
190	depends on STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
191	default "/sbin/usermode-helper"
192	help
193	  The binary called by the kernel when any usermode helper
194	  program is wish to be run.  The "real" application's name will
195	  be in the first argument passed to this program on the command
196	  line.
197
198	  If you wish for all usermode helper programs to be disabled,
199	  specify an empty string here (i.e. "").
