[kernel-hardening] [RFC 2/5 v3] procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options

Vasiliy Kulikov
2011-06-15T13:58:05Z

This patch adds support of mount options to restrict access to
/proc/PID/ directories. The default backward-compatible 'relaxed'
behaviour is left untouched.

The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:

hidepid=0 (default) means the current behaviour - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.

hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but their
own. Sensitive files like cmdline, io, sched*, status, wchan are now
protected against other users. As permission checking done in
proc_pid_permission() and files' permissions are left untouched,
programs expecting specific files' permissions are not confused.

hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to
other users. It doesn't mean that it hides a fact whether a process
exists (it can be learned by other means, e.g. by sending signals), but
it hides process' euid and egid. It greatly compicates intruder's task of
gathering info about running processes, whether some daemon runs with
elevated privileges, whether other user runs some sensitive program,
whether other users run any program at all, etc.

gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info.
