May 27, 2004Secure programmer: Minimizing privilegesDavid Wheeler has written a good article on using least privilege in applications. The article discusses how to minimize privileges by minimizing the privileged modules, the privileges granted, and the time the privileges are active. The article discusses not only some of the traditional UNIX-like mechanisms for privileges, but some of the newer mechanisms like the FreeBSD jail(), the Linux Security Modules (LSM) framework, and Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). Minimizing privileges is an important defense against a variety of security problems. Take some time to check out the article and see how that relates to your own work.
