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).
18
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_INFINIBAND
58	bool "Infiniband Security Hooks"
59	depends on SECURITY && INFINIBAND
60	help
61	  This enables the Infiniband security hooks.
62	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
63	  implement Infiniband access controls.
64	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
65
66config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
67	bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
68	depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
69	help
70	  This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
71	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
72	  implement per-packet access controls based on labels
73	  derived from IPSec policy.  Non-IPSec communications are
74	  designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
75	  to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
76	  IPSec.
77	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
78
79config SECURITY_PATH
80	bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
81	depends on SECURITY
82	help
83	  This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
84	  If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
85	  implement pathname based access controls.
86	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
87
88config INTEL_TXT
89	bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
90	depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
91	help
92	  This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
93	  Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
94	  Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
95	  of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
96	  will have no effect.
97
98	  Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
99	  initial state as well as data reset protection.  This is used to
100	  create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
101	  helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
102	  correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
103	  of the kernel itself.
104
105	  Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
106	  confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
107	  it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
108	  providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
109
110	  See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
111	  about Intel(R) TXT.
112	  See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
113	  See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
114	  Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
115
116	  If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
117
118config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
119	int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
120	depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
121	default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
122	default 65536
123	help
124	  This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
125	  from userspace allocation.  Keeping a user from writing to low pages
126	  can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
127
128	  For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
129	  a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
130	  On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
131	  Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
132	  this low address space will need the permission specific to the
133	  systems running LSM.
134
135config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
136	bool
137	help
138	  The heap allocator implements __check_heap_object() for
139	  validating memory ranges against heap object sizes in
140	  support of CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
141
142config HARDENED_USERCOPY
143	bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"
144	depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
145	select BUG
146	imply STRICT_DEVMEM
147	help
148	  This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
149	  copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
150	  copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
151	  are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
152	  separately allocated pages, are not on the process stack,
153	  or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
154	  of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
155
156config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
157	bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
158	depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
159	depends on EXPERT
160	help
161	  When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
162	  hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
163	  however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
164	  been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
165	  trying to find such users.
166
167config FORTIFY_SOURCE
168	bool "Harden common str/mem functions against buffer overflows"
169	depends on ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE
170	help
171	  Detect overflows of buffers in common string and memory functions
172	  where the compiler can determine and validate the buffer sizes.
173
174config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
175	bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary"
176	help
177	  By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
178	  binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
179	  interface.  Some of these binaries are statically defined
180	  either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
181	  option.  However, some of these are dynamically created at
182	  runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
183	  To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
184	  calls through a single executable that can not have its name
185	  changed.
186
187	  Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
188	  "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
189	  passed to it.  If desired, this program can filter and pick
190	  and choose what real programs are called.
191
192	  If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be
193	  disabled, choose this option and then set
194	  STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string.
195
196config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH
197	string "Path to the static usermode helper binary"
198	depends on STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
199	default "/sbin/usermode-helper"
200	help
201	  The binary called by the kernel when any usermode helper
202	  program is wish to be run.  The "real" application's name will
203	  be in the first argument passed to this program on the command
204	  line.
205
206	  If you wish for all usermode helper programs to be disabled,
207	  specify an empty string here (i.e. "").
