I obviously can't speak for all seccomp users, but libseccomp handles this by checking the seccomp_data->arch value at the start of the filter and killing (by default) any non-native architectures. If you want, you can change this default behavior or add support for other architectures (e.g. create a filter that allows both x86-64 and x32 but disallows x86, or any combination of the three for that matter). -- paul moore security and virtualization @ redhat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
