From 3d43321b7015387cfebbe26436d0e9d299162ea1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 15:49:29 -0700 Subject: modules: sysctl to block module loading Implement a sysctl file that disables module-loading system-wide since there is no longer a viable way to remove CAP_SYS_MODULE after the system bounding capability set was removed in 2.6.25. Value can only be set to "1", and is tested only if standard capability checks allow CAP_SYS_MODULE. Given existing /dev/mem protections, this should allow administrators a one-way method to block module loading after initial boot-time module loading has finished.

It also sets a default mmap_min_addr of 4096. mmapping of addresses below 4096 will only be possible for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
