Subject: [PATCH] Kconfig: Make config Filter access to /dev/mem default y
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 10:52:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100413025228.GC10860@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Recently, most company start use >=2.6.31 kernels to replace redhat kernels.
But the config "Filter access to /dev/mem" is "default n", that allows kernel
rootkit using /dev/mem again. it could access all kernel memory default. Most
administrator don't known the "Filter access to /dev/mem" is "defult N", when
he compiles the kernel, it's easily to be attacked by rootkit.
