Under a strict subject/object security policy delivering a signal or delivering network IPC could be considered either a write or an append operation. The original choice to make both write operations leads to an issue where IPC delivery is desired under policy, but delivery of signals is not. This patch provides the option of making signal delivery an append operation, allowing Smack rules that deny signal delivery while allowing IPC. This was requested for Tizen.

This selects the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.

Smack is useful for sensitivity, integrity, and a variety

of other mandatory security schemes.

Enable the bring-up ("b") access mode in Smack rules.
|
|
When access is granted by a rule with the "b" mode a
|
|
message about the access requested is generated. The
|
|
intention is that a process can be granted a wide set
|
|
of access initially with the bringup mode set on the
|
|
rules. The developer can use the information to
|
|
identify which rules are necessary and what accesses
|
|
may be inappropriate. The developer can reduce the
|
|
access rule set once the behavior is well understood.
|
|
This is a superior mechanism to the oft abused
|
|
"permissive" mode of other systems.

|
Sending a signal has been treated as a write operation to the
|
|
receiving process. If this option is selected, the delivery
|
|
will be an append operation instead. This makes it possible
|
|
to differentiate between delivering a network packet and
|
|
delivering a signal in the Smack rules.
