Automating Seccomp Filter Generation for Linux Applications
Claudio Canella, Mario Werner, Daniel Gruss, Michael Schwarz · 2021
Software vulnerabilities undermine the security of applications. By blocking unused functionality, the impact of potential exploits can be reduced. While seccomp provides a solution for filtering syscalls, it requires manual implementation of filter rules for each individual application. Recent work has investigated approaches to automate this task. However, as we show, these approaches make assumptions that are not necessary or require overly time-consuming analysis.
