Low-Hanging Fruit

  • Audit filesystem privilege checks
  • Audit permissions of all folders in the default install
  • Audit all syscalls & ioctls (_control) for privilege checks.
    • _area functions probably need a lot of thinking here
  • Run the userland as a non-privileged user
  • Fuzz all in-tree parsers
    • driver settings format
    • message
    • rdef

Moderate

  • W^X (now done for kernelspace)
  • Don't allow opening files by inode (requires ABI break)
  • devfs filemodes
  • Spectre mitigations via GCC flags

Advanced
