capsicumizer
is a sandbox launcher that imposes Capsicum capability mode onto an unsuspecting program, allowing "sysadmin style" or "oblivious" sandboxing (i.e. no source code modifications, all restrictions added externally).
You just write AppArmor-esque "profiles" and capsicumizer
takes care of sandboxing the applications.
capsicumizer
is capable of launching some GUI applications (like gedit) on both Wayland and X11.
(GTK 3.24 required because of this patch)
Note: applications that use syscalls directly (instead of going through libc
) โ namely, anything compiled with Golang's official compiler โ won't be able to actually access files under the allowed paths.
This is because we rely on LD_PRELOAD
ing a library (libpreopen) that overrides libc functions like open
to make them use openat
style functions with pre-opened directory descriptors.
- a recent version of FreeBSD
- Meson build system
- libucl >=0.8.1 (pkg: #233383)
- libpreopen (that linked fork, at least for now) (pkg: someday)
Capsicumizer profiles are written in UCL syntax (which is pretty common on FreeBSD), and can be used as directly runnable scripts (#!
):
#!/usr/bin/env capsicumizer
run = "/usr/local/bin/gedit";
access_path = [
"$HOME",
"/usr/local",
"/var/db/fontconfig",
"/tmp",
];
library_path = [
"/lib",
"/usr/lib",
"/usr/local/lib",
"/usr/local/lib/gvfs",
"/usr/local/lib/gio/modules",
"/usr/local/lib/gedit",
];
# gedit does not need any extra preloads
# this is just an example
ld_preload = [
"libgobject-2.0.so"
];
Environment variables and program arguments ($0 etc.) are exposed as UCL variables.
