Currently, there is no privilege separation of the SEV command; you can
run them all or none of them. This is less than ideal because it means
that a compromise of the code which launches VMs could make permanent
change to the SEV certifcate chain which will affect others.
These commands are required to attest the VM environment:
- SEV_PDH_CERT_EXPORT
- SEV_PLATFORM_STATUS
- SEV_GET_{ID,ID2}
These commands manage the SEV certificate chain:
- SEV_PEK_CERR_IMPORT
- SEV_FACTORY_RESET
- SEV_PEK_GEN
- SEV_PEK_CSR
- SEV_PDH_GEN
Lets add the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check for the group of the commands which alters
the SEV certificate chain to provide some level of privilege separation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
