The hardware watchdog is not affected by this setting.</para>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze security</command> analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one or more
|
||
|
|
+ specified service units. If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service
|
||
|
|
+ units are inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded,
|
||
|
|
+ long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for various
|
||
|
|
+ security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric "exposure level" value, depending on how important a
|
||
|
|
+ setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which is an estimation in the range
|
||
|
|
+ 0.0…10.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure levels indicate very little applied
|
||
|
|
+ sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and strongest security restrictions. Note that this only
|
||
|
|
+ analyzes the per-service security features systemd itself implements. This means that any additional security
|
||
|
|
+ mechanisms applied by the service code itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should
|
||
|
|
+ not be misunderstood: a high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the
|
||
|
|
+ service code itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels
|
||
|
|
+ do indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to them. Please
|
||
|
|
+ note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented — unless combined with
|
||
|
|
+ others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount points many of the sandboxing
|
||
|
|
+ options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is essential that each service uses the most
|
||
|
|
+ comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings possible. The tool will take into account some of these
|
||
|
|
+ combinations and relationships between the settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing
|
||
|
|
+ settings analyzed here only apply to the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to
|
||
|
|
+ an IPC system (such as D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same
|
||
|
|
+ restrictions. Any comprehensive security and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access policy is
|
||
|
|
+ not validated too.</para>
