Privman is a library that makes it easy for programs to use privilege
|
|
separation, a technique that prevents the leak or misuse of privilege
|
|
from applications that must run with some elevated permissions. The
|
|
Privman library simplifies the otherwise complex task of separating
|
|
the application, protecting the system from compromise if an error in
|
|
the application logic is found.
|
|
|
|
Applications that use the Privman library split into two halves, the
|
|
half that performs valid privileged operations, and the half that
|
|
contains the application's logic. The library uses configuration files
|
|
to provide fine-grained access control for the privileged operations,
|
|
limiting exposure in even of an attack against the application. When
|
|
the application is compromised, the attacker gains only the privileges
|
|
of an unprivileged user and the specific privileges granted to the
|
|
application by the application's Privman configuration file.
