Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] host/rootfs: Try to protect the portal and dbus daemon
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2025 10:54:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203-sandbox-v3-5-f16ae06a251e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203-sandbox-v3-0-f16ae06a251e@gmail.com>

This tries to protect the portal and D-Bus daemon from other processes.
Unfortunately, this protection is extremely limited: it currently only
switches network and cgroup namespaces.

The single biggest improvement that could be made, by far, is to make
all mounts that the portal and bus daemon have access to 'nosymfollow',
except for the root filesystem.  Unfortunately, I am not aware of how to
enforce this on mounts that appear after the service starts.
