Subject: [PATCH] kmsg: Honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Originally, the addition of the dmesg_restrict covered both the syslog
|
||
|
|
method of accessing dmesg, as well as /dev/kmsg itself. This was done
|
||
|
|
indirectly by security_syslog calling cap_syslog before doing any LSM
|
||
|
|
checks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, commit 12b3052c3ee (capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog
|
||
|
|
logic to fix build failure) moved the code around and pushed the checks
|
||
|
|
into the caller itself. That seems to have inadvertently dropped the
|
||
|
|
checks for dmesg_restrict on /dev/kmsg. Most people haven't noticed
|
||
|
|
because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for
|
||
|
|
access in older versions. With util-linux 2.22 and a kernel newer than
|
||
|
|
3.5, dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fix this by making an explicit check in the devkmsg_open function.

||
