Subject: [PATCH v4 0/6] Partially sandbox Cloud Hypervisor, crosvm, virtiofsd, and the router
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2025 21:20:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203-sandbox-v4-0-71542a7dcf5c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251203-sandbox-v3-0-f16ae06a251e@gmail.com>

This restricts the access of these programs to the system.  Seccomp is
not enabled, though, and the processes still run as root.  Full
sandboxing needs additional work.  In particular, Cloud Hypervisor
should receive access to VFIO devices via file descriptor passing.

D-Bus, the portals, and Weston only unshare cgroup, IPC, network, and
UTS namespaces.  Unsharing mount namespaces breaks the file portal.
