Landlock LSM (Filesystem Sandboxing)

Description

Linux Security Module that allows unprivileged processes to restrict their own filesystem access. Process voluntarily drops access to paths it does not need, reducing impact of compromise.

CVSS Vector Impacts

Metric Transition Rationale
Scope (S) C U Process cannot access filesystem paths outside its Landlock ruleset
Confidentiality (C) H L File read access restricted to declared paths

CWE Relationships

Verification

Check if process has active Landlock restrictions

$ grep Landlock /proc/self/status
# Expected: Landlock
Platform: linux
