I want to play around with usermode linux, So I am reading the docs and |
| 2 |
patching the kernels etc. |
| 3 |
But I noticed that I couldn't patch the grsec-sources with the skas |
| 4 |
patch(1), the skas patch isn't that long (about 570 lines) |
| 5 |
so I thought maybe I can look into the patch and see what is going wrong |
| 6 |
and adjust the patch so that it is able to patch my kernel tree. |
| 7 |
But since it's 'the kernel' I am pretty afraid that I would do something |
| 8 |
really stupid :) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I only use the kernel options for grsec, not (yet) any acl's. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Does anyone have any experience with this or can anyone tell me what I |
| 13 |
can break or just tell me to stay away from it because it isn't going to |
| 14 |
help |
| 15 |
security in any way. |
| 16 |
My idea was to apply grsec on both the uml kernel and on my host kernel, |
| 17 |
but first the host |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The files that fail are: |
| 20 |
mm/mprotect.c |
| 21 |
include/linux/mm.h |
| 22 |
arch/i386/kernel/sys_i386.c |
| 23 |
