.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The POSIX.1e Capability interface allows processes to manipulate their
|
|
|
|
capability set, subject to capability manipulation restrictions imposed
|
|
|
|
by the kernel. Using the capability API, a process may request a copy
|
|
|
|
of its capability state, modify the copy of the state, and resubmit the
|
|
|
|
state for use, if permitted.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
A variety of functions are provided for manipulating and managing
|
|
|
|
process capability state and working store state:

.Pp
|
2001-08-25 14:37:01 +00:00

|
|
A number of capabilities exist, each mapping to the ability to override
|
2000-12-11 15:25:49 +00:00
|
|
|
a particular aspect of the system policy.
|
|
|
|
Each capability in a capability set has three flags, indicating the
|
|
|
|
status of the capability with respect to the file or process it is
|
|
|
|
associated with.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CAP_INHERITABLEXX
|
|
|
|
.It Dv CAP_EFFECTIVE
|
|
|
|
If true, the capability will be used as necessary during accesses by
|
|
|
|
the process.
|
|
|
|
.It Dv CAP_INHERITABLE
|
|
|
|
If true, the capability will be passed through
|
|
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
|
|
invocations as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
.It Dv CAP_PERMITTED
|
|
|
|
If true, the capability is permitted for the process.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Capability inheritence occurs when processes invoke the
|
|
|
|
.Xr exec 3
|
|
|
|
call, resulting in internal invocation of the
|
|
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
|
|
system call.
|
|
|
|
At that time, a processes capabilities are re-evaluated using a set of
|
|
|
|
fixed algorithms.
|
|
|
|
These algorithms take into account the starting capabilities of the process
|
|
|
|
and the capabilities of the file being executed.

.Pp
|
|

|

|

|
p[IPE] represent the starting processes inheritted, permitted, and
|
|
|
|
effective sets.
|
|
|
|
p'[IPE] represent the new inheritted, permitted, and effective sets.
|

|

f[IPE] represent the file's inheritted, permitted, and effective sets.
|
|
|

X represents a global bounding set, currently un-implemented.

|
|
the effective group ID or one of the supplementary group IDs of the calling
|
|
|
|
process shall match the group ID of the file when setting the set-group-ID
|
|
|
|
bit of the file; and that the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits of the file
|
|
|
|
mode shall be cleared upon successful return from
|
|
|
|
.Xr chown 2 .
|
|
|
|
.It Dv CAP_KILL

POSIX.1e assigns security labels to all objects, extending the security
|
|
|
|
functionality described in POSIX.1. These additional labels provide
|
|
|
|
fine-grained discretionary access control, fine-grained capabilities,
|
|
|
|
and labels necessary for mandatory access control. POSIX.2c describes
|
|
|
|
a set of userland utilities for manipulating these labels. These userland
|
|
|
|
utilities are not bundled with
|
|
|
|
.Fx 5.0
|
|
|
|
so as to discourage their
|
|
|
|
use in the short term.

|
|
|
While
|
|
|
|
.Xr posix1e 3
|
|
|
|
is fully implemented, supporting kernel code is not yet available in the
|
|
|
|
base distribution.
|
|
|
|
It is slated for inclusion prior to
|
|
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
