RAppArmor (version 3.2.4)
Bindings to AppArmor and Security Related Linux Tools
Description
Bindings to kernel methods for enforcing security restrictions.
AppArmor can apply mandatory access control (MAC) policies on a given task
(process) via security profiles with detailed ACL definitions. In addition
this package implements bindings for setting process resource limits (rlimit),
uid, gid, affinity and priority. The high level R function 'eval.secure'
builds on these methods to perform dynamic sandboxing: it evaluates a single
R expression within a temporary fork which acts as a sandbox by enforcing
fine grained restrictions without affecting the main R process. A portable
version of this function is now available in the 'unix' package.
