• [$] Securing BPF LSMs against tampering

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Saturday, July 18, 2026 06:40:08


    Since 2020, BPF programs have been able to

    act as Linux security modules
    (LSMs). Several projects, including systemd, have been working to use
    that capability to provide more security to users. Christian Brauner
    spoke at the 2026

    Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit
    about some of the limitations of using BPF in this way, and the changes he would like to see for systemd's use. In particular, he would like a way to make
    sure that BPF programs cannot be removed or have their private data tampered with.
