534 | NSS module provides integration of these dynamic users/groups into the system's user and group | |
29206d46 | 535 | databases. The user and group name to use may be configured via <varname>User=</varname> and |
c648d4d4 LP |
536 | <varname>Group=</varname> (see above). If these options are not used and dynamic user/group |
537 | allocation is enabled for a unit, the name of the dynamic user/group is implicitly derived from the | |
538 | unit name. If the unit name without the type suffix qualifies as valid user name it is used directly, | |
539 | otherwise a name incorporating a hash of it is used. If a statically allocated user or group of the | |
540 | configured name already exists, it is used and no dynamic user/group is allocated. Note that if | |
541 | <varname>User=</varname> is specified and the static group with the name exists, then it is required | |
542 | that the static user with the name already exists. Similarly, if <varname>Group=</varname> is | |
543 | specified and the static user with the name exists, then it is required that the static group with | |
544 | the name already exists. Dynamic users/groups are allocated from the UID/GID range 61184…65519. It is | |
545 | recommended to avoid this range for regular system or login users. At any point in time each UID/GID | |
546 | from this range is only assigned to zero or one dynamically allocated users/groups in use. However, | |
547 | UID/GIDs are recycled after a unit is terminated. Care should be taken that any processes running as | |
548 | part of a unit for which dynamic users/groups are enabled do not leave files or directories owned by | |
549 | these users/groups around, as a different unit might get the same UID/GID assigned later on, and thus | |
550 | gain access to these files or directories. If <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is enabled, | |
e0e65f7d LP |
551 | <varname>RemoveIPC=</varname> and <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> are implied (and cannot be turned |
552 | off). This ensures that the lifetime of IPC objects and temporary files created by the executed | |
553 | processes is bound to the runtime of the service, and hence the lifetime of the dynamic | |
554 | user/group. Since <filename>/tmp/</filename> and <filename>/var/tmp/</filename> are usually the only | |
555 | world-writable directories on a system this ensures that a unit making use of dynamic user/group | |
556 | allocation cannot leave files around after unit termination. Furthermore | |
557 | <varname>NoNewPrivileges=</varname> and <varname>RestrictSUIDSGID=</varname> are implicitly enabled | |
558 | (and cannot be disabled), to ensure that processes invoked cannot take benefit or create SUID/SGID | |
559 | files or directories. Moreover <varname>ProtectSystem=strict</varname> and | |
c648d4d4 LP |
560 | <varname>ProtectHome=read-only</varname> are implied, thus prohibiting the service to write to |
561 | arbitrary file system locations. In order to allow the service to write to certain directories, they | |
6b000af4 | 562 | have to be allow-listed using <varname>ReadWritePaths=</varname>, but care must be taken so that |
c648d4d4 LP |
563 | UID/GID recycling doesn't create security issues involving files created by the service. Use |
564 | <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> (see below) in order to assign a writable runtime directory to a | |
565 | service, owned by the dynamic user/group and removed automatically when the unit is terminated. Use | |
566 | <varname>StateDirectory=</varname>, <varname>CacheDirectory=</varname> and | |
567 | <varname>LogsDirectory=</varname> in order to assign a set of writable directories for specific | |
568 | purposes to the service in a way that they are protected from vulnerabilities due to UID reuse (see | |
569 | below). If this option is enabled, care should be taken that the unit's processes do not get access | |
570 | to directories outside of these explicitly configured and managed ones. Specifically, do not use | |
571 | <varname>BindPaths=</varname> and be careful with <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> file descriptor | |
572 | passing for directory file descriptors, as this would permit processes to create files or directories | |

805 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>setrlimit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> for |
806 | details on the resource limit concept. Resource limits may be specified in two formats: either as | |
807 | single value to set a specific soft and hard limit to the same value, or as colon-separated pair | |
808 | <option>soft:hard</option> to set both limits individually (e.g. <literal>LimitAS=4G:16G</literal>). | |
809 | Use the string <option>infinity</option> to configure no limit on a specific resource. The | |
810 | multiplicative suffixes K, M, G, T, P and E (to the base 1024) may be used for resource limits | |
811 | measured in bytes (e.g. <literal>LimitAS=16G</literal>). For the limits referring to time values, the | |
812 | usual time units ms, s, min, h and so on may be used (see | |
b8afec21 | 813 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for |
54ed193f LP |
814 | details). Note that if no time unit is specified for <varname>LimitCPU=</varname> the default unit of |
815 | seconds is implied, while for <varname>LimitRTTIME=</varname> the default unit of microseconds is | |
816 | implied. Also, note that the effective granularity of the limits might influence their | |
817 | enforcement. For example, time limits specified for <varname>LimitCPU=</varname> will be rounded up | |
818 | implicitly to multiples of 1s. For <varname>LimitNICE=</varname> the value may be specified in two | |
819 | syntaxes: if prefixed with <literal>+</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, the value is understood as | |
1d3a473b ZJS |
820 | regular Linux nice value in the range -20…19. If not prefixed like this the value is understood as |
821 | raw resource limit parameter in the range 0…40 (with 0 being equivalent to 1).</para> | |
54ed193f LP |
822 | |
823 | <para>Note that most process resource limits configured with these options are per-process, and | |
824 | processes may fork in order to acquire a new set of resources that are accounted independently of the | |
825 | original process, and may thus escape limits set. Also note that <varname>LimitRSS=</varname> is not | |
826 | implemented on Linux, and setting it has no effect. Often it is advisable to prefer the resource | |
827 | controls listed in | |

829 | over these per-process limits, as they apply to services as a whole, may be altered dynamically at |
830 | runtime, and are generally more expressive. For example, <varname>MemoryMax=</varname> is a more | |
831 | powerful (and working) replacement for <varname>LimitRSS=</varname>.</para> | |

839 | <para>For system units these resource limits may be chosen freely. When these settings are configured | |
840 | in a user service (i.e. a service run by the per-user instance of the service manager) they cannot be | |
841 | used to raise the limits above those set for the user manager itself when it was first invoked, as | |
842 | the user's service manager generally lacks the privileges to do so. In user context these | |
843 | configuration options are hence only useful to lower the limits passed in or to raise the soft limit | |
844 | to the maximum of the hard limit as configured for the user. To raise the user's limits further, the | |
845 | available configuration mechanisms differ between operating systems, but typically require | |
846 | privileges. In most cases it is possible to configure higher per-user resource limits via PAM or by | |
847 | setting limits on the system service encapsulating the user's service manager, i.e. the user's | |
848 | instance of <filename>user@.service</filename>. After making such changes, make sure to restart the | |

1178 | systems where the underlying security mechanism is not available. For example, <varname>ProtectSystem=</varname> | |
1179 | has no effect if the kernel is built without file system namespacing or if the service manager runs in a container | |

1321 | <para>If <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is used in conjunction with |
1322 | <varname>StateDirectory=</varname>, the logic for <varname>CacheDirectory=</varname> and | |
1323 | <varname>LogsDirectory=</varname> is slightly altered: the directories are created below | |
1324 | <filename>/var/lib/private</filename>, <filename>/var/cache/private</filename> and | |
b8afec21 | 1325 | <filename>/var/log/private</filename>, respectively, which are host directories made inaccessible to |
e9dd6984 ZJS |
1326 | unprivileged users, which ensures that access to these directories cannot be gained through dynamic |
1327 | user ID recycling. Symbolic links are created to hide this difference in behaviour. Both from | |
1328 | perspective of the host and from inside the unit, the relevant directories hence always appear | |
1329 | directly below <filename>/var/lib</filename>, <filename>/var/cache</filename> and | |

1454 | <para>Note that these settings will disconnect propagation of mounts from the unit's processes to the |

1456 | the main mount namespace. For <varname>ReadWritePaths=</varname> and <varname>ReadOnlyPaths=</varname> | |
1457 | propagation in the other direction is not affected, i.e. mounts created on the host generally appear in the | |
1458 | unit processes' namespace, and mounts removed on the host also disappear there too. In particular, note that | |
1459 | mount propagation from host to unit will result in unmodified mounts to be created in the unit's namespace, | |
1460 | i.e. writable mounts appearing on the host will be writable in the unit's namespace too, even when propagated | |
1461 | below a path marked with <varname>ReadOnlyPaths=</varname>! Restricting access with these options hence does | |

2221 | Note, that as new system calls are added to the kernel, additional system calls might be added to the groups |
2222 | above. Contents of the sets may also change between systemd versions. In addition, the list of system calls | |
2223 | depends on the kernel version and architecture for which systemd was compiled. Use | |
2224 | <command>systemd-analyze syscall-filter</command> to list the actual list of system calls in each | |

2227 | <para>Generally, allow-listing system calls (rather than deny-listing) is the safer mode of |
2228 | operation. It is recommended to enforce system call allow lists for all long-running system | |
2229 | services. Specifically, the following lines are a relatively safe basic choice for the majority of | |
2230 | system services:</para> | |
70526841 LP |

2232 | <programlisting>[Service] | |
2233 | SystemCallFilter=@system-service | |
2234 | SystemCallErrorNumber=EPERM</programlisting> | |

330703fb LP |
2236 | <para>Note that various kernel system calls are defined redundantly: there are multiple system calls |
2237 | for executing the same operation. For example, the <function>pidfd_send_signal()</function> system | |
2238 | call may be used to execute operations similar to what can be done with the older | |
2239 | <function>kill()</function> system call, hence blocking the latter without the former only provides | |
2240 | weak protection. Since new system calls are added regularly to the kernel as development progresses, | |
6b000af4 LP |
2241 | keeping system call deny lists comprehensive requires constant work. It is thus recommended to use |
2242 | allow-listing instead, which offers the benefit that new system calls are by default implicitly | |
2243 | blocked until the allow list is updated.</para> | |
330703fb LP |
2244 | |
2245 | <para>Also note that a number of system calls are required to be accessible for the dynamic linker to | |
2246 | work. The dynamic linker is required for running most regular programs (specifically: all dynamic ELF | |
2247 | binaries, which is how most distributions build packaged programs). This means that blocking these | |
2248 | system calls (which include <function>open()</function>, <function>openat()</function> or | |
2249 | <function>mmap()</function>) will make most programs typically shipped with generic distributions | |
2250 | unusable.</para> | |

2293 | <para>System call filtering is not equally effective on all architectures. For example, on x86 | |
0b8fab97 LP |
2294 | filtering of network socket-related calls is not possible, due to ABI limitations — a limitation that x86-64 |
2295 | does not have, however. On systems supporting multiple ABIs at the same time — such as x86/x86-64 — it is hence | |
2296 | recommended to limit the set of permitted system call architectures so that secondary ABIs may not be used to | |
2297 | circumvent the restrictions applied to the native ABI of the system. In particular, setting | |
c29ebc1a | 2298 | <varname>SystemCallArchitectures=native</varname> is a good choice for disabling non-native ABIs.</para> |

566b7d23 ZD |
2565 | <varname>StandardInput=</varname>, see above. If <replaceable>path</replaceable> refers to a regular file |
2566 | on the filesystem, it is opened (created if it doesn't exist yet) for writing at the beginning of the file, | |
2567 | but without truncating it. | |
2568 | If standard input and output are directed to the same file path, it is opened only once, for reading as well | |
2569 | as writing and duplicated. This is particularly useful when the specified path refers to an | |
2570 | <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket in the file system, as in that case only a | |
b8afec21 LP |
2571 | single stream connection is created for both input and output.</para> |

d15b1a6c LW |
2578 | <option>file:<replaceable>path</replaceable></option> above, but it truncates the file when opening |
2579 | it. For units with multiple command lines, e.g. <varname>Type=oneshot</varname> services with | |
2580 | multiple <varname>ExecStart=</varname>, or services with <varname>ExecCondition=</varname>, | |
2581 | <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname> or <varname>ExecStartPost=</varname>, the output file is reopened | |
e3725840 LW |
2582 | and therefore re-truncated for each command line. If the output file is truncated while another |
2583 | process still has the file open, e.g. by an <varname>ExecReload=</varname> running concurrently with | |
2584 | an <varname>ExecStart=</varname>, and the other process continues writing to the file without | |
2585 | adjusting its offset, then the space between the file pointers of the two processes may be filled | |
2586 | with <constant>NUL</constant> bytes, producing a sparse file. Thus, | |
2587 | <option>truncate:<replaceable>path</replaceable></option> is typically only useful for units where | |
2588 | only one process runs at a time, such as services with a single <varname>ExecStart=</varname> and no | |
2589 | <varname>ExecStartPost=</varname>, <varname>ExecReload=</varname>, <varname>ExecStop=</varname> or | |

2598 | <literal>stdout</literal> is implied (i.e. <literal>fd</literal> is equivalent to | |
2599 | <literal>fd:stdout</literal>). At least one socket unit defining the specified name must be provided via the | |
2600 | <varname>Sockets=</varname> option, and the file descriptor name may differ from the name of its containing | |
2601 | socket unit. If multiple matches are found, the first one will be used. See | |

2606 | <para>If the standard output (or error output, see below) of a unit is connected to the journal or |

2609 | above). Also note that in this case stdout (or stderr, see below) will be an | |
2610 | <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> stream socket, and not a pipe or FIFO that can be re-opened. This means | |
2611 | when executing shell scripts the construct <command>echo "hello" > /dev/stderr</command> for | |

3018 | <para>The general philosophy is to expose a small curated list of environment variables to processes. |
3019 | Services started by the system manager (PID 1) will be started, without additional service-specific | |
3020 | configuration, with just a few environment variables. The user manager inherits environment variables as | |
3021 | any other system service, but in addition may receive additional environment variables from PAM, and, | |
3022 | typically, additional imported variables when the user starts a graphical session. It is recommended to | |
32854f70 ZJS |
3023 | keep the environment blocks in both the system and user managers managers lean. Importing all variables |
3024 | inherited by the graphical session or by one of the user shells is strongly discouraged.</para> | |
