## About
|
|
|
|
bsdcapsicum.rb provides Ruby bindings for the
|
|
[capsicum(4)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=capsicum&apropos=0&sektion=4&format=html)
|
|
feature that's available on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
__Capability mode__
|
|
|
|
A process can enter into capability mode by calling
|
|
[BSD::Capsicum.enter!]().
|
|
After entering capability mode, the process has limited
|
|
capabilities. See the
|
|
[cap_enter(2)](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cap_enter&apropos=0&sektion=2&format=html)
|
|
manual page for more details:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require "bsd/capsicum"
|
|
|
|
print "In capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.in_capability_mode? ? "yes" : "no", "\n"
|
|
print "Enter capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.enter! ? "ok" : "error", "\n"
|
|
print "In capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.in_capability_mode? ? "yes" : "no", "\n"
|
|
|
|
begin
|
|
File.new(File::NULL)
|
|
rescue Errno::ECAPMODE => ex
|
|
print "Error: #{ex.message} (#{ex.class})", "\n"
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
##
|
|
# In capability mode: no
|
|
# Enter capability mode: ok
|
|
# In capability mode: yes
|
|
# Error: Not permitted in capability mode @ rb_sysopen - /dev/null (Errno::ECAPMODE)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
__IPC__
|
|
|
|
By spawning a child process and then entering capability mode, restrictions can be
|
|
limited to a child process (and its child processes, if any). This can be helpful in
|
|
an architecture where a parent process can spawn one or more child processes to handle
|
|
certain tasks but with restrictions in place:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require "bsd/capsicum"
|
|
|
|
print "[parent] In capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.in_capability_mode? ? "yes" : "no", "\n"
|
|
fork do
|
|
print "[subprocess] Enter capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.enter! ? "ok" : "error", "\n"
|
|
print "[subprocess] In capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.in_capability_mode? ? "yes" : "no", "\n"
|
|
print "[subprocess] Exit", "\n"
|
|
exit 42
|
|
end
|
|
Process.wait
|
|
print "[parent] In capability mode: ", BSD::Capsicum.in_capability_mode? ? "yes" : "no", "\n"
|
|
|
|
##
|
|
# [parent] In capability mode: no
|
|
# [subprocess] Enter capability mode: ok
|
|
# [subprocess] In capability mode: yes
|
|
# [subprocess] Exit
|
|
# [parent] In capability mode: no
|
|
```
