We have a demonstration system (hopefully won't be a demo for long) that utilizes trusted extensions and VirtualBox together. We have separate labeled zones with one or more running an instance of VirtualBox (hosting Windows). Everything works fine as long as we keep to maximized Windows apps running in a Windows desktop.
VirtualBox has a feature called "Seamless Windowing" that lets a guest application Window float in the host's window manager (similar to Unit for Fusion and other similar technologies for Windows and Linux or with some of the RDP clients). We can turn this on in VirtualBox and it mostly works on Solaris 10 with Trusted Extensions with one exception: When a "seamless" window is rendered in the JDS, it no longer has the "label" security bar surrounding it. While the trusted stripe reflects the correct label for the "seamless" window, there is no indicator on the actual "seamless" window which label is applied to the Window (an issue for usability/security awareness). Is there a setting or something we are missing that can re-establish the correct label decoration to the window? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ security-discuss mailing list [email protected]
