[PATCH V38 21/29] Lock down /proc/kcore

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Wed Aug 07 2019 - 20:09:06 EST


From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

Disallow access to /proc/kcore when the kernel is locked down to prevent
access to cryptographic data. This is limited to lockdown
confidentiality mode and is still permitted in integrity mode.
