AF_ALG Limited Further In Linux 7.3
1 min read
A new sysctl knob in Linux 7.3 further restricts the AF_ALG interface, which has been described as a "nightmare" for security. The change limits access to the cryptographic API through AF_ALG, reducing potential attack surfaces. This update continues efforts to harden the kernel against misuse of the algorithm socket interface.
