answer #1: see bug #18690 |
| 2 |
answer #2: it's added to hardened-sources, which will soon host all the patches |
| 3 |
for this project, as well as extra security/stability and stable performance patches. |

i'd like more details, we have a couple people (natey in particular) working on systrace |
| 6 |
and i'm sure he'd like to know what your problem is and look into fixing it. |
| 7 |
the best way to get something like this in the system is to write a bug. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
we have long term goals for systrace including writing policies for the bulk |
| 10 |
of daemons in portage, and adding support for systrace to start-stop-daemon |
| 11 |
(see bug #18430) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
if you'd like to talk to us about the project or goals with systrace come by |
| 14 |
#gentoo-hardened on freenode :) |

This last week I have been taking a look at systrace, since first hearing |
| 23 |
about it on this list. For a while I have been looking for a "better chroot" |
| 24 |
for securing some daemons, and I think systrace could be it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Maintaining a systrace policy for a large daemon (I am working with Zope) is |
| 27 |
easier than for chroot, because there is no need to maintain a seperate set |
| 28 |
of files (or bind mounts) for the jail. This is particularly obvious when |
| 29 |
there are multiple instances of each daemon.... They can share one systrace |
| 30 |
policy, but a chroot solution would need seperate jails for each instance. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The performance impact seems negligible, and the ability to log the use of |
| 33 |
incidental system calls is an unexpected bonus for intrusion detection. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Is anyone looking at merging systrace with gentoo-sources? The 2003-03-22 |
| 37 |
patch has some easily resolved conflicts when merged with gentoo-sources, it |
| 38 |
compiles fine, but systrace doesnt function correctly when stressed. (more |
| 39 |
details available on request). |
