|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/capsicum.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn cap_enter "void"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn cap_getmode "u_int *modep"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn cap_enter
|
|
places the current process into capability mode, a mode of execution in which
|
|
processes may only issue system calls operating on file descriptors or
|
|
reading limited global system state.
|
|
Access to global name spaces, such as file system or IPC name spaces, is
|
|
prevented.
|
|
If the process is already in a capability mode sandbox, the system call is a
|
|
no-op.
|
|
Future process descendants created with
|
|
.Xr fork 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr pdfork 2
|
|
will be placed in capability mode from inception.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When combined with
|
|
.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
|
|
.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2 ,
|
|
.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 ,
|
|
.Fn cap_enter
|
|
may be used to create kernel-enforced sandboxes in which
|
|
appropriately-crafted applications or application components may be run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn cap_getmode
|
|
returns a flag indicating whether or not the process is in a capability mode
|
|
sandbox.
|
|
.Sh CAVEAT
|
|
Creating effective process sandboxes is a tricky process that involves
|
|
identifying the least possible rights required by the process and then
|
|
passing those rights into the process in a safe manner.
|
|
Consumers of
|
|
.Fn cap_enter
|
|
should also be aware of other inherited rights, such as access to VM
|
|
resources, memory contents, and other process properties that should be
|
|
considered.
|
|
It is advisable to use
|
|
.Xr fexecve 2
|
|
to create a runtime environment inside the sandbox that has as few implicitly
|
|
acquired rights as possible.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std cap_enter cap_getmode
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn cap_enter

The
