From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marc-Andr=C3=A9=20Lureau?= Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 19:02:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] seccomp: use SIGSYS signal instead of killing the thread MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The seccomp action SCMP_ACT_KILL results in immediate termination of the thread that made the bad system call. However, qemu being multi-threaded, it keeps running. There is no easy way for parent process / management layer (libvirt) to know about that situation. Instead, the default SIGSYS handler when invoked with SCMP_ACT_TRAP will terminate the program and core dump. This may not be the most secure solution, but probably better than just killing the offending thread. SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS has been added in Linux 4.14 to improve the situation, which I propose to use by default if available in the next patch.
