PSECFLAGS(1) User Commands PSECFLAGS(1)

NAME

psecflags - inspect or modify process security flags

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/psecflags -s spec -e command [arg]...

/usr/bin/psecflags -s spec [-i idtype] id ...

/usr/bin/psecflags [-F] { pid | core }

/usr/bin/psecflags -l

DESCRIPTION

The first invocation of the psecflags command runs the specified command
with the security-flags modified as described by the -s argument.

The second invocation modifies the security-flags of the processes
described by idtype and id according as described by the -s argument.

The third invocation describes the security-flags of the specified
processes or core files. The effective set is signified by 'E', the
inheritable set by 'I', the lower set by 'L', and the upper set by 'U'.

The fourth invocation lists the supported process security-flags,
documented in security-flags(7).

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-e
Interpret the remaining arguments as a command line and run
the command with the security-flags specified with the -s
flag.


-F
Force. Grab the target process even if another process has
control.


-i idtype
This option, together with the id arguments specify one or
more processes whose security-flags will be modified. The
interpretation of the id arguments is based on idtype. If
idtype is omitted the default is pid.

Valid idtype options are:

all
The psecflags command applies to all processes


contract, ctid
The security-flags of any process with a contract
ID matching the id arguments are modified.


group, gid
The security-flags of any process with a group ID
matching the id arguments are modified.


pid
The security-flags of any process with a process ID
matching the id arguments are modified. This is the
default.


ppid
The security-flags of any processes whose parent
process ID matches the id arguments are modified.


project, projid
The security-flags of any process whose project ID
matches the id arguments are modified.


session, sid
The security-flags of any process whose session ID
matches the id arguments are modified.


taskid
The security-flags of any process whose task ID
matches the id arguments are modified.


user, uid
The security-flags of any process belonging to the
users matching the id arguments are modified.


zone, zoneid
The security-flags of any process running in the
zones matching the given id arguments are modified.


-l
List all supported process security-flags, described in
security-flags(7).


-s specification
Modify the process security-flags according to specification.
Specifications take the form of a comma-separated list of
flags, optionally preceded by a '-' or '!'. Where '-' and '!'
indicate that the given flag should be removed from the
specification. The pseudo-flags "all", "none" and "current"
are supported, to indicate that all flags, no flags, or the
current set of flags (respectively) are to be included.

By default, the inheritable flags are changed. You may
optionally specify the set to change using their single-letter
identifiers and an equals sign.

For a list of valid security-flags, see psecflags -l.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Display the security-flags of the current shell.

example$ psecflags $$
100718: -sh
E: aslr
I: aslr
L: none
U: aslr,forbidnullmap,noexecstack

Example 2: Run a user command with ASLR enabled in addition to any

inherited security flags.

example$ psecflags -s current,aslr -e /bin/sh
$ psecflags $$
100724: -sh
E: none
I: aslr
L: none
U: aslr,forbidnullmap,noexecstack

Example 3: Remove aslr from the inheritable flags of all Bob's processes.

example# psecflags -s current,-aslr -i uid bob

Example 4: Add the aslr flag to the lower set, so that all future child

processes must have this flag set.

example# psecflags -s L=current,aslr $$

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:


0

Success.


non-zero

An error has occurred.
