No. (One exception includes loadable kernel modules that use syscall interposition for security, but I expect that once LSM is in place, they can be largely converted to use LSM hooks instead of syscall interposition.) Syscall interposition in the kernel is a bit of a can of worms, if you want to handle it in full generality. User/kernel pointers, SMP, locking, and portability issues are annoying, and writing code to handle execve() is a good way to lose your lunch. _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
