Safe bindings for Landlock LSM system calls to create per-process filesystem sandboxes, with faithful line-by-line transliteration, provenance headers, and helper APIs for rulesets and path rules.
This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of landlock-lsm/rust-landlock.
Original Project: This port is based on landlock-lsm/rust-landlock. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.
This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.
landlock-lsm/rust-landlockThe text below is reproduced and lightly edited from

Landlock is a security feature available since Linux 5.13. The goal is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g., global filesystem access) for a set of processes by creating safe security sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to help mitigate the security impact of bugs, unexpected or malicious behaviors in applications. Landlock empowers any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves. More information about Landlock can be found in the official website.
This Rust crate provides a safe abstraction for the Landlock system calls along with some helpers.
This crate is especially useful to protect users' data by sandboxing:
A simple example can be found with the
path_beneath_rules() helper.
More complex examples can be found with the
Ruleset documentation
and the sandboxer example.
