| Summary: Library for Capabilities (linux-privs) Support | |
Capabilities are a measure to limit the omnipotence of the superuser. Currently a program started by root or setuid root has the power to do anything. Capabilities (Linux-Privs) provide a more fine-grained access control. Without kernel patches, you can use this library to drop capabilities within setuid binaries. If you use patches, this can be done automatically by the kernel.

* Sun Nov 21 2021 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- libcap 2.61:
* Better error handling of the numerical arguments for capsh and
setcap
* Fix executable mode for all of the .so files. There were two
situations where this was failing (with a hard to debug SIGSEGV
inside libc)

capability
* Fix the top-level include for Make.Rules in the contrib/sucap
example application
* Add support for running constructors at libcap.so start up time
when running as stand alone binary.
- includes changes from 2.60:
* Some build, code linting fixes, the addition of the
cap_fill_flag() API and a memory latency optimization
* General improvement in thread safety for libcap and cap package
* Minor API change replacing libcap:cap_launch_*() void returning
functions with int + errno status returns.
* Added a cap_iab_dup(), and (*cap.IAB).Dup() to API
* New features for capsh: --quiet, -+ and =+ arguments
- add upstream signing key and verify source signature
* Tue Sep 28 2021 info@paolostivanin.com
- update to 2.59:
* Fixed a potential libcap memory leak by adding a destructor
* Major improvement is that there is a path for Linux-PAM compliant
applications to support setting Ambient vector Capabilities via pam_cap.so now
* Added libcap cap_proc_root() API function
* Added color support to captree
* Fixed contrib/sucap/su to correctly handle the Inheritable flag
* capsh enhancements
* getcap -r / now generates readable output
* The shared library objects: pam_cap.so, libcap.so and libpsx.so, are all now
runnable as standalone binaries
* The module pam_cap.so now contains support for a default=<IAB> module argument
* Enhanced capsh --suggest to also compare against the capability value names
and not just their descriptions
* Added capsh --current support
* Added a contrib/sucap/su.c pure-capabilities PAM implementation of su
* Fix for a corner case infinite loop handling long strings
* Added libcap cap_iab_compare() and cap_iab_get_pid() APIs
* Added a Go utility, captree, to display the process (and thread) graph along with
the POSIX.1e and IAB capabilities of each PID{TID} tree.
* Sat Jul 17 2021 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.51:
* Fix capsh installation
* Add an autoauth module flag to pam_cap.so
* Unified libcap/cap (Go) and libcap (C) default generation of external format binary data
* API enhancement cap_fill() and (*cap.Set).Fill() - to permit copying one
capability flag to another.
* --explain=cap_foo: describe what cap_foo does
* --suggest=phrase: search all the cap descriptions and describe those that match the phrase
* Add "keepcaps" module argument support to pam_cap.so (reported by Zoltan Fridrich. Bug 212945)
* extend libcap to include cap_prctl() and cap_prctlw() functions to regain
feature parity with Go "cap" package. These are only needed when linking
against -lpsx for keepcaps POSIX semantics.
* this likely requires substantial application changes to make Ambient
capability support usable in general, but doing our part for the admin.
* Add a test case for recent kernel fix
* Go pragma fix for convenience functions in "cap" module
* Wed Jun 02 2021 christophe@krop.fr
- Fix a broken symlink. libcap-devel installs libpsx.so but
didn't install the library it's pointing to.
* Fri Apr 16 2021 tiwai@suse.de
- Add explicit dependency on libcap2 with version to libcap-progs
(bsc#1184690)
* Mon Mar 22 2021 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.49:
* Implement cap_func_launcher() and cap.FuncLauncher().
* More robust "psx" redirection for nocgo compilation - the documentation for
the cgo implementation is now included in the nocgo one because the go.dev
automated documentation builds the docs from the nocgo version.
* Lots of documentation cleanups and added a few man pages: for IAB and
Launching.
* Some general no-op License changes that might cause folk to notice but only
for formatting reasons. These were initially inspired by some lawyerly
interactions, but I ended up rolling back half of them because they
confused automated software infrastructure.
* Tue Feb 09 2021 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.48:
* More uniform use of $(MAKE) in Makefiles
* No longer include symlinks in the git tree

* Wed Sep 02 2020 dmueller@suse.com

* Thu Aug 06 2020 info@paolostivanin.com
- Update to version 2.42:
* Closed a potential issue with "libcap/psx" Go package and errno
* Documentation updates

* Thu Jan 09 2020 mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to version 2.30 (jsc#SLE-17092, jsc#ECO-3460):
* BUGFIX: arm and i386 fixes C and Go setgroups choice - used
wrong syscall in 2.29.
* cleaned up make clean and make install to actually work as
intended
* updated Gentoo libpsx.pc file from Lars Wendler
* refactored the way libpsx linkage with libcap performed mutual
discovery.
* Previously (2.28) libpsx had an API call overridden by libcap
using weak linkage function in libpsx. In 2.30 this is reversed,
namely libpsx provides the stronger function and libcap has a
weak "no-op" version.
* a bit more consistency in handling the 'all' sets in libcap
(C) and libcap/cap (Go). Namely, they both dynamically discover
the number of capabilities named by the kernel and use this as
the definition of 'all' for the current runtime.
+ libcap (C) exports cap_max_bit() to export the number of
supported capabilities
+ libcap/cap (Go) exports cap.MaxBits() for this same value.

* https://bugs.gentoo.org/703912
* Mon Dec 16 2019 matthias.gerstner@suse.com
- Remove pam_cap (bsc#1150522) since this PAM module is a bad idea, security
wise.

- Update to versison 2.25:
+ Recover gperf detection in make rules.
+ Man page typo fix.
+ Tweak make rules to make packaging more straightforward.
+ Fix error explanation in setcap.
+ Drop need to link with libattr. It turns out libcap wasn't
actually using any code from that library, so linking to it was
superfluous.

Makefile learned about the meaning of DESTDIR.
