6.10 The Restricted Shell
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
If Bash is started with the name 'rbash', or the '--restricted' or '-r'
|
|
option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A
|
|
restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than
|
|
the standard shell. A restricted shell behaves identically to 'bash'
|
|
with the exception that the following are disallowed or not performed:
|
|
|
|
* Changing directories with the 'cd' builtin.
|
|
* Setting or unsetting the values of the 'SHELL', 'PATH', 'HISTFILE',
|
|
'ENV', or 'BASH_ENV' variables.
|
|
* Specifying command names containing slashes.
|
|
* Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '.'
|
|
builtin command.
|
|
* Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the
|
|
'history' builtin command.
|
|
* Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '-p'
|
|
option to the 'hash' builtin command.
|
|
* Importing function definitions from the shell environment at
|
|
startup.
|
|
* Parsing the value of 'SHELLOPTS' from the shell environment at
|
|
startup.
|
|
* Redirecting output using the '>', '>|', '<>', '>&', '&>', and '>>'
|
|
redirection operators.
|
|
* Using the 'exec' builtin to replace the shell with another command.
|
|
* Adding or deleting builtin commands with the '-f' and '-d' options
|
|
to the 'enable' builtin.
|
|
* Using the 'enable' builtin command to enable disabled shell
|
|
builtins.
|
|
* Specifying the '-p' option to the 'command' builtin.
|
|
* Turning off restricted mode with 'set +r' or 'set +o restricted'.
|
|
|
|
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
|
|
|
|
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed (*note
|
|
Shell Scripts::), 'rbash' turns off any restrictions in the shell
|
|
spawned to execute the script.
|
|
|
|
The restricted shell mode is only one component of a useful restricted
|
|
environment. It should be accompanied by setting 'PATH' to a value that
|
|
allows execution of only a few verified commands (commands that allow
|
|
shell escapes are particularly vulnerable), leaving the user in a
|
|
non-writable directory other than his home directory after login, not
|
|
allowing the restricted shell to execute shell scripts, and cleaning the
|
|
environment of variables that cause some commands to modify their
|
|
behavior (e.g., 'VISUAL' or 'PAGER').
|
|
|
|
Modern systems provide more secure ways to implement a restricted
|
|
environment, such as 'jails', 'zones', or 'containers'.
