Open l0kod opened 3 weeks ago

l0kod commented 3 weeks ago

This is a recap of yesterday's meeting (see #1382) about script execution control on Linux, and how it compares to #1364 (see https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/54364). @RafaelGSS, @mhdawson, @rdw-msft, and I were attending.

LWN published an article about this new feature: Restricting execution of scripts — the third approach

I gave a talk last week that explains the goal, the challenges, and the current approach: Closing the script execution control gap

The changes required for Node.js would be:

Here is a proof of concept for Python (using the original securebits): https://github.com/zooba/spython/pull/12

Latest kernel patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240704190137.696169-1-mic@digikod.net/

I'll update this issue with the next patches (which will include an enlighten toy script interpreter).
