The current API of the SafeSetID LSM uses one write() per rule, and applies each written rule instantly. This has several downsides: - While a policy is being loaded, once a single parent-child pair has been loaded, the parent is restricted to that specific child, even if subsequent rules would allow transitions to other child UIDs. This means that during policy loading, set*uid() can randomly fail. - To replace the policy without rebooting, it is necessary to first flush all old rules. This creates a time window in which no constraints are placed on the use of CAP_SETUID. - If we want to perform sanity checks on the final policy, this requires that the policy isn't constructed in a piecemeal fashion without telling the kernel when it's done. Other kernel APIs - including things like the userns code and netfilter - avoid this problem by performing updates atomically. Luckily, SafeSetID hasn't landed in a stable (upstream) release yet, so maybe it's not too late to completely change the API. The new API for SafeSetID is: If you want to change the policy, open "safesetid/whitelist_policy" and write the entire policy, newline-delimited, in there.
