What: /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot
|
|
Date: April 2005 (predates git)
|
|
KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
|

Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org

Description:
|
|
|
|
The selinuxfs "checkreqprot" node allows SELinux to be configured
|
|
to check the protection requested by userspace for mmap/mprotect
|
|
calls instead of the actual protection applied by the kernel.
|
|
This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
|
|
for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to
|
|
1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
|
|
without authorization by policy. The default value of checkreqprot
|
|
at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
|
|
actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
|
|
explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
|
|
initialization for some time. Support for setting checkreqprot to 1
|
|
will be removed in a future kernel release, at which point the kernel
|
|
will always cease using checkreqprot internally and will always
|
|
check the actual protections being applied upon mmap/mprotect calls.
|
|
The checkreqprot selinuxfs node will remain for backward compatibility
|
|
but will discard writes of the "0" value and will reject writes of the
|
|
"1" value when this mechanism is removed.
