seccomp_init(3) libseccomp Documentation seccomp_init(3)
seccomp_init, seccomp_reset - Initialize the seccomp filter state
#include <seccomp.h>
typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;
scmp_filter_ctx seccomp_init(uint32_t def_action);
int seccomp_reset(scmp_filter_ctx ctx, uint32_t def_action);
Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_init() and seccomp_reset() functions (re)initialize
the internal seccomp filter state, prepares it for use, and sets
the default action based on the def_action parameter. The
seccomp_init() function must be called before any other
libseccomp functions as the rest of the library API will fail if
the filter context is not initialized properly. The
seccomp_reset() function releases the existing filter context
state before reinitializing it and can only be called after a
call to seccomp_init() has succeeded. If seccomp_reset() is
called with a NULL filter, it resets the library's global task
state, including any notification file descriptors retrieved by
seccomp_notify_fd(3). Normally this is not needed, but it may be
required to continue using the library after a fork() or clone()
call to ensure the API level and user notification state is
properly reset.
When the caller is finished configuring the seccomp filter and
has loaded it into the kernel, the caller should call
seccomp_release(3) to release all of the filter context state.
Valid def_action values are as follows:
SCMP_ACT_KILL
The thread will be terminated by the kernel with SIGSYS
when it calls a syscall that does not match any of the
configured seccomp filter rules. The thread will not be
able to catch the signal.
SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS
The entire process will be terminated by the kernel with
SIGSYS when it calls a syscall that does not match any of
the configured seccomp filter rules.
SCMP_ACT_TRAP
The thread will be sent a SIGSYS signal when it calls a
syscall that does not match any of the configured seccomp
filter rules. It may catch this and change its behavior
accordingly. When using SA_SIGINFO with sigaction(2),
si_code will be set to SYS_SECCOMP, si_syscall will be set
to the syscall that failed the rules, and si_arch will be
set to the AUDIT_ARCH for the active ABI.
SCMP_ACT_ERRNO(uint16_t errno)
The thread will receive a return value of errno when it
calls a syscall that does not match any of the configured
seccomp filter rules.
SCMP_ACT_TRACE(uint16_t msg_num)
If the thread is being traced and the tracing process
specified the PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP option in the call to
ptrace(2), the tracing process will be notified, via
PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, and the value provided in msg_num
can be retrieved using the PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG option.
SCMP_ACT_LOG
The seccomp filter will have no effect on the thread
calling the syscall if it does not match any of the
configured seccomp filter rules but the syscall will be
logged.
SCMP_ACT_ALLOW
The seccomp filter will have no effect on the thread
calling the syscall if it does not match any of the
configured seccomp filter rules.
The seccomp_init() function returns a filter context on success,
NULL on failure. The seccomp_reset() function returns zero on
success or one of the following error codes on failure:
-EINVAL
Invalid input, either the context or action is invalid.
-ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.
#include <seccomp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int rc = -1;
scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
if (ctx == NULL)
goto out;
/* ... */
rc = seccomp_reset(ctx, SCMP_ACT_KILL);
if (rc < 0)
goto out;
/* ... */
out:
seccomp_release(ctx);
return -rc;
}
While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the
kernel, kernel support is required to load and enforce the
seccomp filter generated by libseccomp.
