It's a blatant lie because the author of that code snippet is trying to trick the reader into thinking that Wayland's isolation somehow has been broken, but that's not true at all. In the real world, any secure desktop soluti

That link is a blatant lie. Redirect each wayland client's stderr to a different term and you will see that the process (keyboard/mice input + graphics output) isolation is still working as intended.

I fail to see how it can help in this case. The most fine-grained access you can achieve with SELinux are objects such as files or ports. What you need here is the ability to check if the other process has the permission to invoke certain o

I haven't heard about that, can you please provide a link?

The reason that Wayland (or X11) protocol uses Unix sockets for communications is because there is not a hierarchical relationship between a client process and the server process (they can be even from different user "sessions").

How the wayland server and the shell are going to share (or agree to) that file descriptors or secrets in the first place? Or how can you ensure that the shell is not a rogue one?

> However the way Wayland (or its broader ecosystem) "fixes" security is just stupid. Instead of using a fine grained whitelisting based permission system to grant different clients all the permissions they need to do their wo
