test_410_config_lock_down_kernel in ubuntu_kernel_security test failed on B/C/D KVM

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1811981

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This could be found on KVM kernel as well.

Po-Hsu, thanks for the report. I'm not sure the lock down kernel config makes sense for ppc64el and s390x, and the qa-regression-testing script should be updated to reflect that.

The linux-kvm case is possibly worth adjusting the config, I need to discuss that more with the Security Team.

This testcase also fails with linux-kvm for Cosmic.

Didn't see this for ppc64el on the latest 4.15 bionic kernel (4.15.0-45)

I think the fix is here for the PowerPC:
https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing/commit/?id=2082aec714a3a053664082a747b9c166b398cc4f

So this issue can be called fixed in the qa-regression-testing suite.

We will address the kernel configs here.

Hello Steve,

regarding you comment #3:

    The linux-kvm case is possibly worth adjusting the config, I need to discuss that more with the Security Team.

Do we need to enable this on the KVM kernel?
Thanks.

I can confirm that the CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL config is enabled in the 4.15.0-1039.39 linux-kvm kernel in bionic-proposed. Thanks!

I can confirm that the CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL config is enabled in the 5.0.0-1011.12 linux-kvm kernel in disco-proposed. Thanks!
