SECCOMP(2)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		    SECCOMP(2)

NAME
       seccomp - operate on Secure Computing state of the process

SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/seccomp.h>
       #include <linux/filter.h>
       #include <linux/audit.h>
       #include <linux/signal.h>
       #include <sys/ptrace.h>

       int seccomp(unsigned int operation, unsigned int flags, void *args);

DESCRIPTION
       The  seccomp()  system  call operates on the Secure Computing (seccomp)
       state of the calling process.

       Currently, Linux supports the following operation values:

       SECCOMP_SET_MODE_STRICT
	      The only system calls that the calling thread  is	 permitted  to
	      make  are	 read(2),  write(2), _exit(2) (but not exit_group(2)),
	      and sigreturn(2).	 Other system calls result in the delivery  of
	      a	 SIGKILL  signal.   Strict secure computing mode is useful for
	      number-crunching applications that may need to execute untrusted
	      byte code, perhaps obtained by reading from a pipe or socket.

	      Note  that  although  the calling thread can no longer call sig‐
	      procmask(2), it can use sigreturn(2) to block all signals	 apart
	      from  SIGKILL  and SIGSTOP.  This means that alarm(2) (for exam‐
	      ple) is not sufficient for restricting the  process's  execution
	      time.   Instead, to reliably terminate the process, SIGKILL must
	      be used.	 This  can  be	done  by  using	 timer_create(2)  with
	      SIGEV_SIGNAL  and	 sigev_signo set to SIGKILL, or by using setr‐
	      limit(2) to set the hard limit for RLIMIT_CPU.

	      This operation is available only if  the	kernel	is  configured
	      with CONFIG_SECCOMP enabled.

	      The value of flags must be 0, and args must be NULL.

	      This operation is functionally identical to the call:

		  prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT);

       SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER
	      The  system calls allowed are defined by a pointer to a Berkeley
	      Packet Filter (BPF) passed via args.  This argument is a pointer
	      to  a  struct sock_fprog; it can be designed to filter arbitrary
	      system calls and	system	call  arguments.   If  the  filter  is
	      invalid, seccomp() fails, returning EINVAL in errno.

	      If  fork(2) or clone(2) is allowed by the filter, any child pro‐
	      cesses will be constrained to the same system  call  filters  as
	      the  parent.  If execve(2) is allowed, the existing filters will
	      be preserved across a call to execve(2).

	      In order to use the  SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER  operation,	either
	      the  caller  must	 have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its user
	      namespace, or the thread must already have the no_new_privs  bit
	      set.   If	 that  bit  was not already set by an ancestor of this
	      thread, the thread must make the following call:

		  prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1);

	      Otherwise,  the  SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER	operation  fails   and
	      returns  EACCES  in  errno.   This  requirement  ensures that an
	      unprivileged process cannot apply a malicious  filter  and  then
	      invoke   a   set-user-ID	 or  other  privileged	program	 using
	      execve(2), thus potentially compromising that program.  (Such  a
	      malicious	 filter	 might,	 for  example, cause an attempt to use
	      setuid(2) to set the caller's user  IDs  to  nonzero  values  to
	      instead return 0 without actually making the system call.	 Thus,
	      the program might be tricked into retaining superuser privileges
	      in circumstances where it is possible to influence it to do dan‐
	      gerous things because it did not actually drop privileges.)

	      If prctl(2) or seccomp() is allowed by the attached filter, fur‐
	      ther  filters may be added.  This will increase evaluation time,
	      but allows for further reduction of the  attack  surface	during
	      execution of a thread.

	      The  SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER  operation is available only if the
	      kernel is configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER enabled.

	      When flags is 0, this operation is functionally identical to the
	      call:

		  prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, args);

	      The recognized flags are:

	      SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_TSYNC
		     When  adding  a new filter, synchronize all other threads
		     of the calling process to the same seccomp	 filter	 tree.
		     A	"filter	 tree" is the ordered list of filters attached
		     to a thread.  (Attaching identical	 filters  in  separate
		     seccomp()	calls  results	in different filters from this
		     perspective.)

		     If any thread cannot synchronize to the same filter tree,
		     the call will not attach the new seccomp filter, and will
		     fail, returning the first thread  ID  found  that	cannot
		     synchronize.  Synchronization will fail if another thread
		     in the same process is in SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT  or	if  it
		     has  attached  new	 seccomp  filters to itself, diverging
		     from the calling thread's filter tree.

	      SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_LOG (since Linux 4.14)
		     All filter return actions except SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW should
		     be	 logged.   An  administrator  may override this filter
		     flag by preventing specific actions from being logged via
		     the /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_logged file.

       SECCOMP_GET_ACTION_AVAIL (since Linux 4.14)
	      Test to see if an action is supported by the kernel.  This oper‐
	      ation is helpful to confirm that the  kernel  knows  of  a  more
	      recently	added filter return action since the kernel treats all
	      unknown actions as SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS.

	      The value of flags must be 0, and args must be a pointer	to  an
	      unsigned 32-bit filter return action.

   Filters
       When  adding filters via SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, args points to a fil‐
       ter program:

	   struct sock_fprog {
	       unsigned short	   len;	   /* Number of BPF instructions */
	       struct sock_filter *filter; /* Pointer to array of
					      BPF instructions */
	   };

       Each program must contain one or more BPF instructions:

	   struct sock_filter {		   /* Filter block */
	       __u16 code;		   /* Actual filter code */
	       __u8  jt;		   /* Jump true */
	       __u8  jf;		   /* Jump false */
	       __u32 k;			   /* Generic multiuse field */
	   };

       When executing the instructions, the BPF program operates on the system
       call information made available (i.e., use the BPF_ABS addressing mode)
       as a (read-only) buffer of the following form:

	   struct seccomp_data {
	       int   nr;		   /* System call number */
	       __u32 arch;		   /* AUDIT_ARCH_* value
					      (see <linux/audit.h>) */
	       __u64 instruction_pointer;  /* CPU instruction pointer */
	       __u64 args[6];		   /* Up to 6 system call arguments */
	   };

       Because numbering of system calls varies between architectures and some
       architectures  (e.g.,  x86-64) allow user-space code to use the calling
       conventions of multiple architectures, it is usually necessary to  ver‐
       ify the value of the arch field.

       It is strongly recommended to use a whitelisting approach whenever pos‐
       sible because such an approach is more robust and simple.  A  blacklist
       will have to be updated whenever a potentially dangerous system call is
       added (or a dangerous flag or option if those are blacklisted), and  it
       is often possible to alter the representation of a value without alter‐
       ing its meaning, leading to  a  blacklist  bypass.   See	 also  Caveats
       below.

       The  arch  field is not unique for all calling conventions.  The x86-64
       ABI and the x32 ABI both use AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64 as arch, and they run on
       the  same  processors.	Instead, the mask __X32_SYSCALL_BIT is used on
       the system call number to tell the two ABIs apart.

       This means that in order to create a seccomp-based blacklist for system
       calls  performed	 through  the  x86-64 ABI, it is necessary to not only
       check that arch equals AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64, but also to explicitly reject
       all system calls that contain __X32_SYSCALL_BIT in nr.

       The  instruction_pointer field provides the address of the machine-lan‐
       guage instruction that performed the system call.  This might be useful
       in conjunction with the use of /proc/[pid]/maps to perform checks based
       on which region (mapping) of the program made the system call.  (Proba‐
       bly,  it	 is wise to lock down the mmap(2) and mprotect(2) system calls
       to prevent the program from subverting such checks.)

       When checking values from args against a blacklist, keep in  mind  that
       arguments  are  often  silently	truncated  before being processed, but
       after the seccomp check.	 For example, this happens if the i386 ABI  is
       used  on	 an  x86-64 kernel: although the kernel will normally not look
       beyond the 32 lowest bits of the arguments,  the	 values	 of  the  full
       64-bit  registers will be present in the seccomp data.  A less surpris‐
       ing example is that if the x86-64 ABI is used to perform a system  call
       that  takes  an	argument of type int, the more-significant half of the
       argument register is ignored by the system call,	 but  visible  in  the
       seccomp data.

       A  seccomp  filter  returns a 32-bit value consisting of two parts: the
       most significant 16 bits (corresponding to the mask defined by the con‐
       stant  SECCOMP_RET_ACTION_FULL)	contain	 one  of  the  "action" values
       listed below; the least significant 16-bits (defined  by	 the  constant
       SECCOMP_RET_DATA) are "data" to be associated with this return value.

       If  multiple  filters exist, they are all executed, in reverse order of
       their addition to the filter tree—that is, the most recently  installed
       filter  is  executed first.  (Note that all filters will be called even
       if one of the earlier filters returns SECCOMP_RET_KILL.	This  is  done
       to  simplify the kernel code and to provide a tiny speed-up in the exe‐
       cution of sets of filters by avoiding a check for this uncommon	case.)
       The  return  value  for	the  evaluation	 of a given system call is the
       first-seen action value of highest precedence (along with its  accompa‐
       nying data) returned by execution of all of the filters.

       In  decreasing  order  of  precedence,  the  action  values that may be
       returned by a seccomp filter are:

       SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS (since Linux 4.14)
	      This value results in immediate termination of the process, with
	      a core dump.  The system call is not executed.  By contrast with
	      SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD below, all threads in the	 thread	 group
	      are  terminated.	 (For  a  discussion of thread groups, see the
	      description of the CLONE_THREAD flag in clone(2).)

	      The process terminates as though	killed	by  a  SIGSYS  signal.
	      Even  if	a  signal  handler has been registered for SIGSYS, the
	      handler will be ignored in this case and the process always ter‐
	      minates.	 To  a	parent process that is waiting on this process
	      (using waitpid(2) or similar), the returned wstatus  will	 indi‐
	      cate that its child was terminated as though by a SIGSYS signal.

       SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD (or SECCOMP_RET_KILL)
	      This  value  results in immediate termination of the thread that
	      made the system call.  The system call is not  executed.	 Other
	      threads in the same thread group will continue to execute.

	      The  thread terminates as though killed by a SIGSYS signal.  See
	      SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS above.

	      Before Linux 4.11, any process terminated in this way would  not
	      trigger  a  coredump  (even  though SIGSYS is documented in sig‐
	      nal(7) as having a default action of  termination	 with  a  core
	      dump).   Since  Linux  4.11, a single-threaded process will dump
	      core if terminated in this way.

	      With the addition of  SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS  in  Linux	 4.14,
	      SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD	was   added  as	 a  synonym  for  SEC‐
	      COMP_RET_KILL, in order to  more	clearly	 distinguish  the  two
	      actions.

       SECCOMP_RET_TRAP
	      This  value results in the kernel sending a SIGSYS signal to the
	      triggering process without executing the system  call.   Various
	      fields will be set in the siginfo_t structure (see sigaction(2))
	      associated with signal:

	      *	 si_signo will contain SIGSYS.

	      *	 si_call_addr  will  show  the	address	 of  the  system  call
		 instruction.

	      *	 si_syscall  and  si_arch  will indicate which system call was
		 attempted.

	      *	 si_code will contain SYS_SECCOMP.

	      *	 si_errno will contain the  SECCOMP_RET_DATA  portion  of  the
		 filter return value.

	      The  program  counter will be as though the system call happened
	      (i.e., it will not point to the system call  instruction).   The
	      return  value  register  will  contain an architecture-dependent
	      value; if resuming execution, set it  to	something  appropriate
	      for  the	system	call.  (The architecture dependency is because
	      replacing it with ENOSYS could overwrite	some  useful  informa‐
	      tion.)

       SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO
	      This  value  results in the SECCOMP_RET_DATA portion of the fil‐
	      ter's return value being passed to user space as the errno value
	      without executing the system call.

       SECCOMP_RET_TRACE
	      When  returned,  this  value will cause the kernel to attempt to
	      notify a ptrace(2)-based tracer prior to	executing  the	system
	      call.   If  there	 is  no tracer present, the system call is not
	      executed and returns a failure status with errno set to ENOSYS.

	      A tracer will be notified if it  requests	 PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP
	      using ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS).	The tracer will be notified of
	      a PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP and the SECCOMP_RET_DATA portion  of  the
	      filter's	return	value  will  be	 available  to	the tracer via
	      PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG.

	      The tracer can skip the system call by changing the system  call
	      number  to  -1.  Alternatively, the tracer can change the system
	      call requested by changing the system call  to  a	 valid	system
	      call  number.   If the tracer asks to skip the system call, then
	      the system call will appear to return the value that the	tracer
	      puts in the return value register.

	      Before kernel 4.8, the seccomp check will not be run again after
	      the tracer is notified.  (This means  that,  on  older  kernels,
	      seccomp-based  sandboxes must not allow use of ptrace(2)—even of
	      other sandboxed processes—without extreme care; ptracers can use
	      this mechanism to escape from the seccomp sandbox.)

       SECCOMP_RET_LOG (since Linux 4.14)
	      This  value  results in the system call being executed after the
	      filter return action is logged.  An administrator	 may  override
	      the   logging  of	 this  action  via  the	 /proc/sys/kernel/sec‐
	      comp/actions_logged file.

       SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW
	      This value results in the system call being executed.

       If an action value other than one of the above is specified,  then  the
       filter  action  is  treated  as	either SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS (since
       Linux 4.14) or SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD (in Linux 4.13 and earlier).

   /proc interfaces
       The files in the directory /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp provide  additional
       seccomp information and configuration:

       actions_avail (since Linux 4.14)
	      A	 read-only  ordered  list  of seccomp filter return actions in
	      string form.  The ordering, from left-to-right, is in decreasing
	      order  of	 precedence.   The  list represents the set of seccomp
	      filter return actions supported by the kernel.

       actions_logged (since Linux 4.14)
	      A read-write ordered list of seccomp filter return actions  that
	      are  allowed to be logged.  Writes to the file do not need to be
	      in ordered form but reads from the file will be ordered  in  the
	      same way as the actions_avail file.

	      It  is  important	 to note that the value of actions_logged does
	      not prevent certain filter return actions from being logged when
	      the  audit  subsystem  is	 configured  to	 audit a task.	If the
	      action is not found in the actions_logged file, the final	 deci‐
	      sion  on whether to audit the action for that task is ultimately
	      left up to the audit subsystem to decide for all	filter	return
	      actions other than SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW.

	      The "allow" string is not accepted in the actions_logged file as
	      it is not possible to log SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW actions.  Attempting
	      to write "allow" to the file will fail with the error EINVAL.

   Audit logging of seccomp actions
       Since  Linux  4.14, the kernel provides the facility to log the actions
       returned by seccomp filters in the audit log.   The  kernel  makes  the
       decision to log an action based on the action type,  whether or not the
       action is present in the actions_logged file, and whether kernel audit‐
       ing  is	enabled (e.g., via the kernel boot option audit=1).  The rules
       are as follows:

       *  If the action is SECCOMP_RET_ALLOW, the action is not logged.

       *  Otherwise, if the action is either SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS or  SEC‐
	  COMP_RET_KILL_THREAD,	 and that action appears in the actions_logged
	  file, the action is logged.

       *  Otherwise, if the filter has	requested  logging  (the  SECCOMP_FIL‐
	  TER_FLAG_LOG	flag)  and  the	 action	 appears in the actions_logged
	  file, the action is logged.

       *  Otherwise, if kernel auditing is enabled and the  process  is	 being
	  audited (autrace(8)), the action is logged.

       *  Otherwise, the action is not logged.

RETURN VALUE
       On   success,   seccomp()   returns   0.	  On  error,  if  SECCOMP_FIL‐
       TER_FLAG_TSYNC was used, the return value is the ID of the thread  that
       caused  the synchronization failure.  (This ID is a kernel thread ID of
       the type returned by clone(2) and gettid(2).)  On other errors,	-1  is
       returned, and errno is set to indicate the cause of the error.

ERRORS
       seccomp() can fail for the following reasons:

       EACCESS
	      The caller did not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in its user
	      namespace,  or  had  not	set  no_new_privs  before  using  SEC‐
	      COMP_SET_MODE_FILTER.

       EFAULT args was not a valid address.

       EINVAL operation	 is unknown or is not supported by this kernel version
	      or configuration.

       EINVAL The specified flags are invalid for the given operation.

       EINVAL operation included BPF_ABS, but the  specified  offset  was  not
	      aligned  to  a  32-bit  boundary	or exceeded sizeof(struct sec‐
	      comp_data).

       EINVAL A secure computing mode has already been set, and operation dif‐
	      fers from the existing setting.

       EINVAL operation specified SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, but the filter pro‐
	      gram pointed to by args was not valid or the length of the  fil‐
	      ter  program  was	 zero or exceeded BPF_MAXINSNS (4096) instruc‐
	      tions.

       ENOMEM Out of memory.

       ENOMEM The total length of all filter programs attached to the  calling
	      thread  would  exceed  MAX_INSNS_PER_PATH	 (32768) instructions.
	      Note that for the	 purposes  of  calculating  this  limit,  each
	      already  existing filter program incurs an overhead penalty of 4
	      instructions.

       EOPNOTSUPP
	      operation specified  SECCOMP_GET_ACTION_AVAIL,  but  the	kernel
	      does not support the filter return action specified by args.

       ESRCH  Another  thread  caused a failure during thread sync, but its ID
	      could not be determined.

VERSIONS
       The seccomp() system call first appeared in Linux 3.17.

CONFORMING TO
       The seccomp() system call is a nonstandard Linux extension.

NOTES
       Rather than hand-coding seccomp filters as shown in the example	below,
       you  may	 prefer	 to  employ  the  libseccomp library, which provides a
       front-end for generating seccomp filters.

       The Seccomp field of the /proc/[pid]/status file provides a  method  of
       viewing the seccomp mode of a process; see proc(5).

       seccomp()  provides  a  superset	 of  the functionality provided by the
       prctl(2) PR_SET_SECCOMP operation (which does not support flags).

       Since Linux 4.4, the prctl(2) PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER	operation  can
       be used to dump a process's seccomp filters.

   Caveats
       There  are various subtleties to consider when applying seccomp filters
       to a program, including the following:

       *  Some traditional system calls have user-space implementations in the
	  vdso(7)  on many architectures.  Notable examples include clock_get‐
	  time(2), gettimeofday(2), and time(2).  On such architectures,  sec‐
	  comp	filtering  for	these system calls will have no effect.	 (How‐
	  ever, there are cases where the  vdso(7)  implementations  may  fall
	  back to invoking the true system call, in which case seccomp filters
	  would see the system call.)

       *  Seccomp filtering is based on system call numbers.  However,	appli‐
	  cations  typically  do not directly invoke system calls, but instead
	  call wrapper functions in the C library which	 in  turn  invoke  the
	  system calls.	 Consequently, one must be aware of the following:

	  ·  The glibc wrappers for some traditional system calls may actually
	     employ system calls with different	 names	in  the	 kernel.   For
	     example,  the  exit(2)  wrapper  function	actually  employs  the
	     exit_group(2) system call, and the fork(2) wrapper function actu‐
	     ally calls clone(2).

	  ·  The  behavior of wrapper functions may vary across architectures,
	     according to the range of system calls provided on	 those	archi‐
	     tectures.	 In  other words, the same wrapper function may invoke
	     different system calls on different architectures.

	  ·  Finally, the behavior of  wrapper	functions  can	change	across
	     glibc  versions.  For example, in older versions, the glibc wrap‐
	     per function for open(2) invoked the  system  call	 of  the  same
	     name,  but starting in glibc 2.26, the implementation switched to
	     calling openat(2) on all architectures.

       The consequence of the above points is that it may be necessary to fil‐
       ter  for	 a  system  call other than might be expected.	Various manual
       pages in Section	 2  provide  helpful  details  about  the  differences
       between	wrapper	 functions  and the underlying system calls in subsec‐
       tions entitled C library/kernel differences.

       Furthermore, note that the application of seccomp  filters  even	 risks
       causing bugs in an application, when the filters cause unexpected fail‐
       ures for legitimate operations that the application might need to  per‐
       form.   Such bugs may not easily be discovered when testing the seccomp
       filters if the bugs occur in rarely used application code paths.

   Seccomp-specific BPF details
       Note the following BPF details specific to seccomp filters:

       *  The BPF_H and BPF_B size modifiers are not supported: all operations
	  must load and store (4-byte) words (BPF_W).

       *  To  access  the contents of the seccomp_data buffer, use the BPF_ABS
	  addressing mode modifier.

       *  The BPF_LEN addressing mode modifier yields an immediate mode	 oper‐
	  and whose value is the size of the seccomp_data buffer.

EXAMPLE
       The  program  below  accepts  four  or more arguments.  The first three
       arguments are a system call number, a numeric architecture  identifier,
       and  an error number.  The program uses these values to construct a BPF
       filter that is used at run time to perform the following checks:

       [1] If the program is not running on the	 specified  architecture,  the
	   BPF filter causes system calls to fail with the error ENOSYS.

       [2] If  the program attempts to execute the system call with the speci‐
	   fied number, the BPF filter causes the system call  to  fail,  with
	   errno being set to the specified error number.

       The  remaining  command-line  arguments	specify the pathname and addi‐
       tional arguments of a program that the example program  should  attempt
       to  execute  using  execv(3)  (a	 library  function  that  employs  the
       execve(2) system call).	Some example runs of  the  program  are	 shown
       below.

       First,  we display the architecture that we are running on (x86-64) and
       then construct a shell function that looks up system  call  numbers  on
       this architecture:

	   $ uname -m
	   x86_64
	   $ syscall_nr() {
	       cat /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl | \
	       awk '$2 != "x32" && $3 == "'$1'" { print $1 }'
	   }

       When  the  BPF filter rejects a system call (case [2] above), it causes
       the system call to fail with the error number specified on the  command
       line.  In the experiments shown here, we'll use error number 99:

	   $ errno 99
	   EADDRNOTAVAIL 99 Cannot assign requested address

       In  the following example, we attempt to run the command whoami(1), but
       the BPF filter rejects the execve(2) system call, so that  the  command
       is not even executed:

	   $ syscall_nr execve
	   59
	   $ ./a.out
	   Usage: ./a.out <syscall_nr> <arch> <errno> <prog> [<args>]
	   Hint for <arch>: AUDIT_ARCH_I386: 0x40000003
			    AUDIT_ARCH_X86_64: 0xC000003E
	   $ ./a.out 59 0xC000003E 99 /bin/whoami
	   execv: Cannot assign requested address

       In  the	next example, the BPF filter rejects the write(2) system call,
       so that, although it is successfully started, the whoami(1) command  is
       not able to write output:

	   $ syscall_nr write
	   1
	   $ ./a.out 1 0xC000003E 99 /bin/whoami

       In  the final example, the BPF filter rejects a system call that is not
       used by the whoami(1) command, so it is able  to	 successfully  execute
       and produce output:

	   $ syscall_nr preadv
	   295
	   $ ./a.out 295 0xC000003E 99 /bin/whoami
	   cecilia
