Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode
Medium Severity
This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their own address space using seccomp. The configuration that was used to build kernel is available at
/boot/config-*
. To check the configuration value for
CONFIG_SECCOMP
, run the following command:
grep CONFIG_SECCOMP /boot/config-*
For each kernel installed, a line with value "y" should be returned.
