.TH SETPRIV 1 "January 2013" "util-linux" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
setpriv \- run a program with different Linux privilege settings
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B setpriv
.RI [ options ]
program
.RI [ arguments ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Sets or queries various Linux privilege settings that are inherited across
.BR execve (2).
.SH OPTION
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-dump\fR
Dumps current privilege state. Specify more than once to show extra, mostly
useless, information. Incompatible with all other options.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-new\-privs\fR
Sets the
.I no_\:new_\:privs
bit. With this bit set,
.BR execve (2)
will not grant new privileges. For example, the setuid and setgid bits as well
as file capabilities will be disabled. (Executing binaries with these bits set
will still work, but they will not gain privilege. Certain LSMs, especially
AppArmor, may result in failures to execute certain programs.) This bit is
inherited by child processes and cannot be unset. See
.BR prctl (2)
and
.IR Documentation/\:prctl/\:no_\:new_\:privs.txt
in the Linux kernel source.
.IP
The no_\:new_\:privs bit is supported since Linux 3.5.
.TP
\fB\-\-inh\-caps\fR \fI(+|\-)cap\fR,\fI...\fR or \fB\-\-bounding\-set\fR \fI(+|\-)cap\fR,\fI...\fR
Sets inheritable capabilities or capability bounding set. See
.BR capabilities (7).
The argument is a comma-separated list of
.I +cap
and
.I \-cap
entries, which add or remove an entry respectively.
.I +all
and
.I \-all
can be used to add or remove all caps. The set of capabilities starts out as
the current inheritable set for
.B \-\-\:inh\-\:caps
and the current bounding set for
.BR \-\-\:bounding\-\:set .
If you drop something from the bounding set without also dropping it from the
inheritable set, you are likely to become confused. Do not do that.
.TP
.BR \-\-list\-caps
Lists all known capabilities. Must be specified alone.
.TP
\fB\-\-ruid\fR \fIuid\fR, \fB\-\-euid\fR \fIuid\fR, \fB\-\-reuid\fR \fIuid\fR
Sets the real, effective, or both \fIuid\fRs. The uid argument can be
given as textual login name.
.IP
Setting
.I uid
or
.I gid
does not change capabilities, although the exec call at the end might change
capabilities. This means that, if you are root, you probably want to do
something like:
.IP
\-\-reuid=1000 \-\-\:regid=1000 \-\-\:caps=\-\:all
.TP
\fB\-\-rgid\fR \fIgid\fR, \fB\-\-egid\fR \fIgid\fR, \fB\-\-regid\fR \fIgid\fR
Sets the real, effective, or both \fIgid\fRs. The gid argument can be
given as textual group name.
.IP
For safety, you must specify one of \-\-\:keep\-\:groups,
\-\-\:clear\-\:groups, or \-\-\:groups if you set any primary
.IR gid .
.TP
.BR \-\-clear\-groups
Clears supplementary groups.
.TP
\fB\-\-keep\-groups\fR
Preserves supplementary groups. Only useful in conjunction with \-\-rgid,
\-\-egid, or \-\-regid.
.TP
\fB\-\-groups\fR \fIgroup\fR,\fI...\fR
Sets supplementary groups.
.TP
\fB\-\-securebits\fR \fI(+|\-)securebit\fR,\fI...\fR
Sets or clears securebits. The valid securebits are
.IR noroot ,
.IR noroot_\:locked ,
.IR no_\:setuid_\:fixup ,
.IR no_\:setuid_\:fixup_\:locked ,
and
.IR keep_\:caps_\:locked .
.I keep_\:caps
is cleared by
.BR execve (2)
and is therefore not allowed.
.TP
\fB\-\-selinux\-label\fR \fIlabel\fR
Requests a particular SELinux transition (using a transition on exec, not
dyntrans). This will fail and cause
.BR setpriv (1)
to abort if SELinux is not in use, and the transition may be ignored or cause
.BR execve (2)
to fail at SELinux's whim. (In particular, this is unlikely to work in
conjunction with
.IR no_\:new_\:privs .)
This is similar to
.BR runcon (1).
.TP
\fB\-\-apparmor\-profile\fR \fIprofile\fR
Requests a particular AppArmor profile (using a transition on exec). This will
fail and cause
.BR setpriv (1)
to abort if AppArmor is not in use, and the transition may be ignored or cause
.BR execve (2)
to fail at AppArmor's whim.
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Display version information and exit.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Display help text and exit.
.SH NOTES
If applying any specified option fails,
.I program
will not be run and
.B setpriv
will return with exit code 127.
.PP
Be careful with this tool \-\- it may have unexpected security consequences.
For example, setting no_\:new_\:privs and then execing a program that is
SELinux\-\:confined (as this tool would do) may prevent the SELinux
restrictions from taking effect.
