Subject: [PATCH] mountkernfs: Mount securityfs
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 15:05:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112140526.3332669-1-antonio@mandelbit.com> (raw)
Without securityfs, /sys/kernel/security/lsm and the lockdown state are
not available, so there is no easy way to check which security modules
(e.g. Landlock) are active. This led to the wrong conclusion in #13782
that Landlock is not initialised.

Notes:
- /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountkernfs needs to be shipped with the next Core
Update; I left the filelists to you.
- Landlock itself works: on Core 189 and 205 a Landlock-restricted
process gets EACCES, /sys/kernel/security/lsm lists landlock, and
Suricata is confined (a rule reload of a yaml outside its sandbox
fails with "Permission denied"). Details are in #13782.
