Access EnforcementΒΆ
SIMP uses a combination of discretionary and mandatory access control configurations to protect the operating system and the applications installed. Both forms of access control are built upon a model where a subject’s (user or process) access to an object is controlled by the underlying operating system.
SIMPLib puts some specific access control configurations in place. The /tmp
and
/var/tmp
directories have nodev, noexec, and nosuid set to prevent users from
misusing the systems global read/write directories.
