Description
Secure programs must minimize privileges so that any bugs are
less likely to be become security vulnerabilities. This article
discusses how to minimize privileges by minimizing the
privileged modules, the privileges granted, and the time the
privileges are active. The article discusses not only some of
the traditional UNIX-like mechanisms for privileges, but some
of the newer mechanisms like the FreeBSD jail(), the Linux
Security Modules (LSM) framework, and Security-Enhanced Linux
(SELinux).
