[PATCH V38 23/29] bpf: Restrict bpf when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Wed Aug 07 2019 - 20:08:33 EST


From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

bpf_read() and bpf_read_str() could potentially be abused to (eg) allow
private keys in kernel memory to be leaked. Disable them if the kernel
has been locked down in confidentiality mode.
