The purpose of these new functions is to make it simpler for users to add new syscalls to the whitelist and blacklist. The current approach uses a user-supplied pointer which however was difficult to manage with "no_fs", which may add systemcalls to the blacklist. Then we must resize arrays, and suddenly it's our job to free them. As a bonus, implementing them here allows easier data structure changes and decreases the chances tgat users of this API do something wrong, like forgetting -1 at then end, etc. |

qssb.h (quite simple sandbox)
qssb.h
is a simple header-only library that provides an interface to sandbox 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.
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.
