These functions, as well as cap_net_limit(), are reentrant but not thread- safe. That is, they may be called from separate threads only with differ- ent cap_channel_t arguments or with synchronization. LIMITS By default, the cap_net capability provides unrestricted access to the net- work namespace. Applications typically only require access to a small por- tion of the network namespace: The cap_net_limit() function can be used to restrict access to the network. The cap_net_limit_init() returns an opaque limit handle used to store a list of capabilities. The mode restricts the functionality of the service. Modes are encoded using the following flags: CAPNET_ADDR2NAME reverse DNS lookups are allowed with cap_getnameinfo CAPNET_NAME2ADDR name resolution is allowed with cap_getaddrinfo CAPNET_DEPRECATED_ADDR2NAME reverse DNS lookups are allowed with cap_gethostbyaddr CAPNET_DEPRECATED_NAME2ADDR name resolution is allowed with cap_gethostbyname and cap_gethostbyname2 CAPNET_BIND bind syscall is allowed CAPNET_CONNECT connect syscall is allowed CAPNET_CONNECTDNS connect syscall is allowed to the values returned from previous call to the cap_getaddrinfo or cap_gethostbyname cap_net_limit_addr2name_family() limits the cap_getnameinfo() and cap_geth- ostbyaddr() to do reverse DNS lookups to specific family (AF_INET, AF_INET6, etc.) cap_net_limit_addr2name() limits the cap_getnameinfo() and cap_gethost- byaddr() to do reverse DNS lookups only on those specific structures. cap_net_limit_name2addr_family() limits the cap_getaddrinfo(), cap_gethost- byname() and cap_gethostbyname2() to do the name resolution on specific family (AF_INET, AF_INET6, etc.) cap_net_limit_addr2name() restricts cap_getaddrinfo(), cap_gethostbyname() and cap_gethostbyname2() to a set of domains. cap_net_limit_bind() limits cap_bind() to bind only on those specific structures. cap_net_limit_connect() limits cap_connect() to connect only on those spe- cific structures. If the CAPNET_CONNECTDNS is set the limits are extended to the values returned by cap_getaddrinfo(), cap_gethostbyname() and cap_gethostbyname2() In case of the cap_getaddrinfo() the restriction is strict. In case of the cap_gethostbyname() and cap_gethostbyname2() any port will be accepted in the cap_connect() function. The cap_net_limit() will consume and apply the limits. Once a set of limits is applied, subsequent calls to cap_net_limit() will fail unless the new set is a subset of the current set. If the cap_net_limit() was not called the rights may be freed using cap_net_free(). Multiple calls to cap_net_limit_addr2name_family(), cap_net_limit_addr2name(), cap_net_limit_name2addr_family(), cap_net_limit_name2addr(), cap_net_limit_connect(), and cap_net_limit_bind() is supported, each call is extending preview capabili- ties. EXAMPLES The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses this capability to create the system.net casper service and uses it to resolve a host and connect to it. cap_channel_t *capcas, *capnet; cap_net_limit_t *limit; int familylimit, error, s; const char *host = "example.com"; struct addrinfo hints, *res; /* Open capability to Casper. */ capcas = cap_init(); if (capcas == NULL) err(1, "Unable to contact Casper"); /* Cache NLA for gai_strerror. */ caph_cache_catpages(); /* Enter capability mode sandbox. */ if (caph_enter_casper() < 0) err(1, "Unable to enter capability mode"); /* Use Casper capability to create capability to the system.net service. */ capnet = cap_service_open(capcas, "system.net"); if (capnet == NULL) err(1, "Unable to open system.net service"); /* Close Casper capability. */ cap_close(capcas); /* Limit system.net to reserve IPv4 addresses, to host example.com . */ limit = cap_net_limit_init(capnet, CAPNET_NAME2ADDR | CAPNET_CONNECTDNS); if (limit == NULL) err(1, "Unable to create limits."); cap_net_limit_name2addr(limit, host, "80"); familylimit = AF_INET; cap_net_limit_name2addr_family(limit, &familylimit, 1); if (cap_net_limit(limit) < 0) err(1, "Unable to apply limits."); /* Find IP addresses for the given host. */ memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints)); hints.ai_family = AF_INET; hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM; error = cap_getaddrinfo(capnet, host, "80", &hints, &res); if (error != 0) errx(1, "cap_getaddrinfo(): %s: %s", host, gai_strerror(error)); s = socket(res->ai_family, res->ai_socktype, res->ai_protocol); if (s < 0) err(1, "Unable to create socket"); if (cap_connect(capnet, s, res->ai_addr, res->ai_addrlen) < 0) err(1, "Unable to connect to host"); SEE ALSO bind(2), cap_enter(2), connect(2), caph_enter(3), err(3), gethostbyaddr(3), gethostbyname(3), gethostbyname2(3), getnameinfo(3), capsicum(4), nv(9) AUTHORS Mariusz Zaborski <oshogbo@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly December 6, 2023 CAP_NET(3)
