From 782191c74875cc33b50263e21d76080b1411884d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Micka=C3=ABl=20Sala=C3=BCn?= Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 12:05:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] landlock: Warn once if a Landlock action is requested while disabled MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Because sandboxing can be used as an opportunistic security measure, user space may not log unsupported features. Let the system administrator know if an application tries to use Landlock but failed because it isn't enabled at boot time. This may be caused by boot loader configurations with outdated "lsm" kernel's command-line parameter.
