From ce6ada35bdf710d16582cc4869c26722547e6f11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2010 17:11:32 +0000 Subject: security: Define CAP_SYSLOG Privileged syslog operations currently require CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Split this off into a new CAP_SYSLOG privilege which we can sanely take away from a container through the capability bounding set. With this patch, an lxc container can be prevented from messing with the host's syslog (i.e. dmesg -c). Changelog: mar 12 2010: add selinux capability2:cap_syslog perm Changelog: nov 22 2010: . port to new kernel . add a WARN_ONCE if userspace isn't using CAP_SYSLOG Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn Acked-by: Andrew G.
