Constructors

CAP_CHOWN
  • In a system with the [_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED] option defined, this overrides the restriction of changing file ownership and group ownership.
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
  • Override all DAC access, including ACL execute access if [_POSIX_ACL] is defined. Excluding DAC access covered by CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE.
CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
  • Overrides all DAC restrictions regarding read and search on files and directories, including ACL restrictions if [_POSIX_ACL] is defined. Excluding DAC access covered by CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE.
CAP_FOWNER
  • Overrides all restrictions about allowed operations on files, where file owner ID must be equal to the user ID, except where CAP_FSETID is applicable. It doesn't override MAC and DAC restrictions.
CAP_FSETID
  • Overrides the following restrictions that the effective user ID shall match the file owner ID when setting the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits on that file; that the effective group ID (or one of the supplementary group IDs) shall match the file owner ID when setting the S_ISGID bit on that file; that the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits are cleared on successful return from chown(2) (not implemented).
CAP_KILL
  • Overrides the restriction that the real or effective user ID of a process sending a signal must match the real or effective user ID of the process receiving the signal.
CAP_SETGID
  • Allows setgid(2) manipulation
  • Allows setgroups(2)
  • Allows forged gids on socket credentials passing.
CAP_SETUID
  • Allows set*uid(2) manipulation (including fsuid).
  • Allows forged pids on socket credentials passing.
CAP_SETPCAP
  • Without VFS support for capabilities: Transfer any capability in your permitted set to any pid, remove any capability in your permitted set from any pid With VFS support for capabilities (neither of above, but) Add any capability from current's capability bounding set to the current process' inheritable set Allow taking bits out of capability bounding set Allow modification of the securebits for a process
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE

CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
  • Allows binding to TCP/UDP sockets below 1024

  • Allow clearing driver statistics
  • Allow multicasting
  • Allow read/write of device-specific registers
  • Allow activation of ATM control sockets
CAP_NET_RAW
  • Allow use of RAW sockets
  • Allow use of PACKET sockets
  • Allow binding to any address for transparent proxying (also via NET_ADMIN)
CAP_IPC_LOCK
  • Allow locking of shared memory segments
  • Allow mlock and mlockall (which doesn't really have anything to do with IPC)
CAP_IPC_OWNER
  • Override IPC ownership checks
CAP_SYS_MODULE
  • Insert and remove kernel modules - modify kernel without limit
CAP_SYS_RAWIO
  • Allow ioperm/iopl access
  • Allow sending USB messages to any device via devbus/usb
CAP_SYS_CHROOT
  • Allow use of chroot()
CAP_SYS_PTRACE
  • Allow ptrace() of any process
CAP_SYS_PACCT
  • Allow configuration of process accounting
CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  • Allow configuration of the secure attention key
  • Allow administration of the random device
  • Allow examination and configuration of disk quotas
  • Allow setting the domainname
  • Allow setting the hostname
  • Allow calling bdflush()
  • Allow mount() and umount(), setting up new smb connection
  • Allow some autofs root ioctls
  • Allow nfsservctl
  • Allow VM86_REQUEST_IRQ
  • Allow to read/write pci config on alpha
  • Allow irix_prctl on mips (setstacksize)
  • Allow flushing all cache on m68k (sys_cacheflush)
  • Allow removing semaphores
  • Used instead of CAP_CHOWN to "chown" IPC message queues, semaphores and shared memory
  • Allow locking/unlocking of shared memory segment
  • Allow turning swap on/off
  • Allow forged pids on socket credentials passing
  • Allow setting readahead and flushing buffers on block devices
  • Allow setting geometry in floppy driver
  • Allow turning DMA on/off in xd driver
  • Allow administration of md devices (mostly the above, but some extra ioctls)
  • Allow tuning the ide driver
  • Allow access to the nvram device
  • Allow administration of apm_bios, serial and bttv (TV) device
  • Allow manufacturer commands in isdn CAPI support driver
  • Allow reading non-standardized portions of pci configuration space
  • Allow DDI debug ioctl on sbpcd driver
  • Allow setting up serial ports
  • Allow sending raw qic-117 commands
  • Allow enabling/disabling tagged queuing on SCSI controllers and sending arbitrary SCSI commands
  • Allow setting encryption key on loopback filesystem
  • Allow setting zone reclaim policy
  • Allow everything under CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON for backward compatibility
CAP_SYS_BOOT
  • Allow use of reboot()
CAP_SYS_NICE
  • Allow raising priority and setting priority on other (different UID) processes
  • Allow use of FIFO and round-robin (realtime) scheduling on own processes and setting the scheduling algorithm used by another process.

  • Modify data journaling mode on ext3 filesystem (uses journaling resources)
  • NOTE: ext2 honors fsuid when checking for resource overrides, so you can override using fsuid too
