[PATCH 1/3] Security: Add disablenetwork interface. (v4)

From: Michael Stone
Date: Sat Dec 26 2009 - 20:04:40 EST


Daniel Bernstein has observed [1] that security-conscious userland processes
may benefit from the ability to irrevocably remove their ability to create,
bind, connect to, or send messages except in the case of previously connected
sockets or AF_UNIX filesystem sockets.

This patch provides

* a new configuration option named CONFIG_SECURITY_DISABLENETWORK,
* a new prctl option-pair (PR_SET_NETWORK, PR_GET_NETWORK),
* a new prctl(PR_SET_NETWORK) flag named PR_NETWORK_OFF, and
* a new task_struct flags field named "network"
