Until now, using any form of seccomp while being unprivileged (User=)
resulted in systemd enabling no_new_privs.
There's no need for doing this because:
* We trust the filters we apply
* If User= is set and a process wants to apply a new seccomp filter, it
will need to set no_new_privs itself
An example of application that might want seccomp + !no_new_privs is a
program that wants to run as an unprivileged user but uses file
capabilities to start a web server on a privileged port while
benefitting from a restrictive seccomp profile.
We now keep the privileges needed to do seccomp before calling
enforce_user() and drop them after the seccomp filters are applied.
If the syscall filter doesn't allow the needed syscalls to drop the
privileges, we keep the previous behavior by enabling no_new_privs.
IN C23, thread_local is a reserved keyword and we shall therefore
do nothing to redefine it. glibc has it defined for older standard
version with the right conditions.
v2 by Yu Watanabe:
Move the definition to missing_threads.h like the way we define e.g.
missing syscalls or missing definitions, and include it by the users.

We should be more careful with distinguishing the cases "all bits set in
caps mask" from "cap mask invalid". We so far mostly used UINT64_MAX for
both, which is not correct though (as it would mean
AmbientCapabilities=~0 followed by AmbientCapabilities=0) would result
in capability 63 to be set (which we don't really allow, since that
means unset).
We refuse it otherwise currently, simply because we cannot store it in a
uint64_t caps mask value anymore while retaining the ability to use
UINT64_MAX as "unset" marker.
The check actually was in place already, just one off.
Up to now the capability CAP_SETPCAP was raised implicitly in the
function capability_bounding_set_drop.
This functionality is moved into a new function
(capability_gain_cap_setpcap).
The new function optionally provides the capability set as it was
before raisining CAP_SETPCAP.
We never return anything higher than 63, so using "long unsigned"
as the type only confused the reader. (We can still use "long unsigned"
and safe_atolu() to parse the kernel file.)
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/14133 made
capability_ambient_set_apply() acquire capabilities that were explicitly
asked for and drop all others. This change means the function is called
even with an empty capability set, opening up a code path for users
without ambient capabilities to call this function. This function will
error with EINVAL out on kernels < 4.3 because PR_CAP_AMBIENT is not
understood. This turns capability_ambient_set_apply() into a noop for
kernels < 4.3
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15225
The OCI changes in #9762 broke a use case in which we use nspawn from
inside a container that has dropped capabilities from the bounding set
that nspawn expected to retain. In an attempt to keep OCI compliance
and support our use case, I made hard failing on setting capabilities
not in the bounding set optional (hard fail if using OCI and log only
if using nspawn cmdline).
Fixes#12539
cap_last_cap() returns the last valid cap (instead of the number of
valid caps). to iterate through all known caps we hence need to use a <=
check, and not a < check like for all other cases. We got this right
usually, but in three cases we did not.
Everyone will be in trouble then (as quite widely caps are store in
64bit fields). But let's protect ourselves at least to the point that we
ignore all higher caps for now.
The kernel only allows dropping bounding caps as long as we have
CAP_SETPCAP. Hence, let's keep that before dropping the bounding caps,
and afterwards drop them too.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Let's drop the caching of the setgroups /proc field for now. While there's a
strict regime in place when it changes states, let's better not cache it since
we cannot really be sure we follow that regime correctly.
More importantly however, this is not in performance sensitive code, and
there's no indication the cache is really beneficial, hence let's drop the
caching and make things a bit simpler.
Also, while we are at it, rework the error handling a bit, and always return
negative errno-style error codes, following our usual coding style. This has
the benefit that we can sensible hanld read_one_line_file() errors, without
having to updat errno explicitly.
This patch adds support for ambient capabilities in service files. The
idea with ambient capabilities is that the execed processes can run with
non-root user and get some inherited capabilities, without having any
need to add the capabilities to the executable file.
You need at least Linux 4.3 to use ambient capabilities. SecureBit
keep-caps is automatically added when you use ambient capabilities and
wish to change the user.
An example system service file might look like this:
[Unit]
Description=Service for testing caps
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 10000
User=nobody
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
After starting the service it has these capabilities:
CapInh: 0000000000003000
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
CapEff: 0000000000003000
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
CapAmb: 0000000000003000
Change the capability bounding set parser and logic so that the bounding
set is kept as a positive set internally. This means that the set
reflects those capabilities that we want to keep instead of drop.
