SYD-SEC(1)

NAME

syd-sec - Print secure bits or run command with secure bits set

SYNOPSIS

syd-sec [-ahikprsxAIKPRSX] {command [args...]}

DESCRIPTION

Given no arguments, print information on process secure bits in compact JSON.

Given no command, one or more of the secure bit options [-aikprsx] may be given to test for secure bits. Use capital letter options, [-AIKPRSX], to test for locked versions of respective secure bits.

Given a command and arguments, with at least one of the secure bit options [-aikprsxAIKRSX] set the specified securebits, execute the command and exit with the same status.

OPTIONS

-h | Display help and exit.

-p, -P | Set/test process no_new_privs attribute.

-r, -R | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_NOROOT.

-s, -S | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP.

-k, -K | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS.

-a, -A | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE.

-x, -X | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE.

-i, -I | Set/test secure bit SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE.

SECURE BITS

Securebit | Description | CAP_SETPCAP required?
NO_NEW_PRIVS | When set, execve(2) will not grant new privileges (e.g., set-user-ID/set-group-ID mode bits and file capabilities are ignored). Inherited across fork(2), clone(2), and execve(2); once set, cannot be unset. | No
NOROOT | Disable special handling of UID 0 for gaining capabilities on exec/setuid. NOROOT_LOCKED is lock for NOROOT (prevents further changes; irreversible). | Yes
NO_SETUID_FIXUP | Stop kernel adjustments to permitted/effective/ambient capability sets when effective/filesystem UIDs toggle between 0 and nonzero. NO_SETUID_FIXUP_LOCKED is lock for NO_SETUID_FIXUP (prevents further changes; irreversible). | Yes
KEEP_CAPS | Allow retaining permitted capabilities when switching all UIDs from 0 to nonzero; always cleared on execve(2). KEEP_CAPS_LOCKED is lock for KEEP_CAPS (prevents further changes; irreversible). | Yes
NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE | Disallow raising ambient capabilities via prctl(PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE). NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE_LOCKED is lock for NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE (prevents further changes; irreversible). | Yes
EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE | Interpreter/dynamic linker should execute a file only if execveat(2) with AT_EXECVE_CHECK on the related file descriptor succeeds. EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE_LOCKED is lock for EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE (prevents further changes; irreversible). | No
EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE | Interpreter should not accept interactive user commands; content via a file descriptor is allowed only if execveat(2) with AT_EXECVE_CHECK succeeds. EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE_LOCKED is lock for EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE (prevents further changes; irreversible). | No

EXIT STATUS

When querying secure bits, syd-sec exits with success if all the specified secure bits are set in process secure bits. When running a command, syd-sec exits with the same code as the child process. If PR_SET_SECUREBITS(2const) prctl(2) operation fails prior to command execution, syd-sec exits with errno(3).
