I wrote security software for z/VM's ancestors VM/XA and VM/SP. I read
years ago of trojan proof-of-concept code for the MVS series OSs from IBM.
It could be done but of course was an insider attack.

A B-level mandatory-access control OS is specified to prevent that. It can
be done by 3rd party software if, of course, you are able to front-end the
system calls (SVCs in their terminology). We did have source licenses for
our implementation on HP/UX and Solaris but it was not strictly necessary.

It's counter-intuitive I know, but your statement is provably false with
the right security model. Google the Bell-LaPadula model. Equally valid in
what we consider a normal computing environment and even in multi-user
unix/Linux environments.
