mac_none — null MAC policy module
Contents
Bugs
While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack
channels are currently protected by entry point checks. As such, MAC Framework policies should not be
relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
Debian July 25, 2015 MAC_NONE(4)
