(crossposted to freebsd-security just in case someone has to slap me) :) Hello, I'm doing some work with the MAC subsystem in FreeBSD, and I have spotted some errors in the MAC documentation in the handbook. 1- Section 15.14.4. Error in the example dropping users "nagios" and "www" into the insecure class. The example uses the command "pw usermod nagios -L

Hello, I've been looking at the different MAC modules available and how they cold help to implement a less insecure than usual shared hosting web server. I've not been able to come up with a suitable configuration, looking at mac_bsdextended, mac_biba and mac_mls, but I think that a MAC module with the following policies could be very useful for such an environment. Have I

Hello, I've found myself in a situation where a simple data inspection capability added to ipfw would be very useful. I'm not thinking about anything especially sophisticated, but what about adding an option to check byte values (or flags, similar to tcpdump)? An example rule could be: add deny udp from any to me 12345 udp[4]&234 being the rule true if byte 4 in the UDP

Hello, Are there many people actually using the MAC subsystem in the real world? I have been working to set up a shared hosting webserver and I've stumbled against some limitations with the BIBA policy. In short, it's an excellent model, and can be used succesfully if applications are aware of its existance, but I find it incompatible with the real-world needs in Unix, and,

Hello, I've been playing a bit with the "noexec" flag for filesystems. It can represent a substantial obstacle against the exploitation of security holes. However, I think it's not perfect yet. First thing, an attempt to execute a program from a noexec-mounted filesystem should be logged. It is either a very significant security event, or it can drive nuts an
