This feature is disabled by default and is primarily intended for use with Desktop Android. Adding Landlock is meant to provide a way for the Chrome app to provide sandboxing around the GPU process that’s close in strength to desktop platforms. It looks like the ideal way to test this would be expanding the tests in `content/test/gpu/gpu_tests/`, but since this is disabled by default, and CQ bots aren’t guaranteed to support Landlock, leaving that change for a separate CL. Bug: 404867540 Test: Chrome launches on Desktop Android device with Landlock enabled. Test: chrome://gpu shows the same Feature Status with Landlock enforced Change-Id: I2d8457e2e473805a3307eada0d782a0da7dfbce2 Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/6476512 Commit-Queue: Ben Scarlato <akhna@google.com> Auto-Submit: Ben Scarlato <akhna@google.com> Reviewed-by: Jorge Lucangeli Obes <jorgelo@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Matthew Denton <mpdenton@chromium.org> Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#1458373}
Sandbox Library
This directory contains platform-specific sandboxing libraries. Sandboxing is a technique that can improve the security of an application by separating untrustworthy code (or code that handles untrustworthy data) and restricting its privileges and capabilities.
Each platform relies on the operating system's process primitive to isolate code into distinct security principals, and platform-specific technologies are used to implement the privilege reduction. At a high-level:
mac/
uses the Seatbelt sandbox. See the detailed design for more.linux/
uses namespaces and Seccomp-BPF. See the detailed design for more.win/
uses a combination of restricted tokens, distinct job objects, alternate desktops, and integrity levels. See the detailed design for more.
Built on top of the low-level sandboxing library is the
//sandbox/policy
component, which provides concrete
policies and helper utilities for sandboxing specific Chromium processes and
services. The core sandbox library cannot depend on the policy component.
