Albert S 6420ca1b40 Add landlock runtime detection 
We cannot assume that landlock is enabled if we can compile it.
Even if it's enabled in the kernel it may still not be loaded.

We fill fallback to chroot/bind-mounts if we can.

If we can't (because path policies have landlock-specific options),
we can't do that either.

Closes: #21

README.md

exile.h

exile.h is a simple header-only library that provides an interface to isolate processes on Linux. Using Seccomp and Linux Namespaces for that purpose requires some knowledge of annoying details which this library aims to abstract away as much as possible, when reasonable. Hence, the goal is to provide a convenient way for processes to restrict themselves in order to mitigate the effect of exploits. Currently, it utilizes technologies like Seccomp, Namespaces and Landlock to this end.

Status

No release yet, expiremental, API is unstable, builds will break on updates of this library.

Currently, it's mainly evolving according to the needs of my other projects.

Features

  • Systemcall filtering (using seccomp-bpf)
  • restricting file system access (using Landlock and/or Namespaces)
  • dropping privileges
  • isolating the application from the network, etc.

Requirements

Kernel >=3.17

sys/capabilities.h header. Depending on your distribution, libcap might be needed for this.

While mostly transparent to users of this API, kernel >= 5.13 is required to take advantage of Landlock.

FAQ

Does the process need to be priviliged to utilize the library?

No.

It doesn't work on Debian!

You can thank a Debian-specific kernel patch for that. In the future, the library may check against that. Execute echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone to disable that patch for now.
