{"description": "This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications that may need to compute\nuntrusted bytecode during their execution. By using pipes or other transports made available\nto the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write syscalls, it's possible to isolate\nthose applications in their own address space using seccomp.\n\nThe configuration that was used to build kernel is available at <tt>/boot/config-*</tt>.\n    To check the configuration value for <tt>CONFIG_SECCOMP</tt>, run the following command:\n    <tt>grep CONFIG_SECCOMP /boot/config-*</tt>\n    \n    For each kernel installed, a line with value \"y\" should be returned.\n    ", "rationale": "<tt>seccomp</tt> enables the ability to filter system calls made by an application, effectively\nisolating the system's resources from it.", "severity": "medium", "references": {"anssi": ["R20"]}, "control_references": {"anssi": ["R20"]}, "components": [], "identifiers": {}, "ocil_clause": "the kernel was not built with the required value", "ocil": "To determine the config value the kernel was built with, run the following command:\n    <pre>$ grep CONFIG_SECCOMP /boot/config.*</pre>\n    \n    For each kernel installed, a line with value \"y\" should be returned.\n    ", "oval_external_content": null, "fixtext": "", "checktext": "", "vuldiscussion": "", "srg_requirement": "", "warnings": [{"general": "There is no remediation for this besides re-compiling the kernel with the appropriate value for the config."}], "conflicts": [], "requires": [], "policy_specific_content": {}, "platform": null, "platforms": [], "sce_metadata": {}, "inherited_platforms": ["system_with_kernel"], "cpe_platform_names": [], "inherited_cpe_platform_names": ["system_with_kernel"], "bash_conditional": null, "fixes": {}, "title": "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode", "definition_location": "/aptdata/openscap/scap-security-guide/linux_os/guide/system/kernel_build_config/kernel_config_seccomp/rule.yml", "template": {"name": "kernel_build_config", "vars": {"config": "CONFIG_SECCOMP", "value": "y"}, "backends": {}}}
