NAME

cr_canseejailproc – determine if subjects may see entities in sub-jails

SYNOPSIS

int
cr_canseejailproc(struct ucred *u1, struct ucred *u2);

DESCRIPTION

This function is internal. Its functionality is integrated into the function cr_bsd_visible(9), which should be called instead.

This function checks if a subject associated to credentials u1 is denied seeing a subject or object associated to credentials u2 by a policy that requires both credentials to be associated to the same jail. This is a restriction to the baseline jail policy that a subject can see subjects or objects in its own jail or any sub-jail of it.

This policy is active if and only if the sysctl(8) variable security.bsd.see_jail_proc is set to zero.

As usual, the superuser (effective user ID 0) is exempt from this policy provided that the sysctl(8) variable security.bsd.suser_enabled is non-zero and no active MAC policy explicitly denies the exemption ( see priv_check_cred(9) ).

RETURN VALUES

The cr_canseejailproc() function returns 0 if the policy is disabled, both credentials are associated to the same jail, or if u1 has privilege exempting it from the policy. Otherwise, it returns ESRCH.
