From a5b9e5a2f14f25a8dae987494d50ad3aac7366b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 14:31:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt() optional The modify_ldt syscall exposes a large attack surface and is unnecessary for modern userspace. Make it optional. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Cc: Andrew Cooper Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
