How to compare string values with seccomp?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
5
Some Linux system calls (such as execve, openat) have string type arguments. But the comparison function SCMP_CMP provided by seccomp seems to be comparing two pointers. So how can I limit files that can be opened by a process to a specific dir using seccomp? Is there a way for users to provide a general comparison function?

Hmm, why do some people suggest this question doesn't fit here, given the fact that seccomp is built in the Linux kernel...

Ho hum, I would have thought this to be on-topic, based on the "C API and system interfaces" point in the help page, and the fact that it's specific to an OS that matches the description "Unix & Linux". But apparently the consensus on the discussion in meta is that interfaces like that aren't on-topic since "only programmers see them".

In any case, there's even a tag for seccomp on stackoverflow, so chances are there's someone there who knows something about it.

According to this talk (at the 8 minute mark) from a few months ago, pointer dereferencing in seccomp bpf is not yet possible, but is being worked on.

One issue with trying to read process memory as a security check is that there's a TOCTOU race if you have multiple threads or shared/ mmapped memory.
