  239: =head1 NAME
  240: 
  241: Safe - Compile and execute code in restricted compartments
  242: 
  243: =head1 SYNOPSIS
  244: 
  245:   use Safe;
  246: 
  247:   $compartment = new Safe;
  248: 
  249:   $compartment->permit(qw(time sort :browse));
  250: 
  251:   $result = $compartment->reval($unsafe_code);
  252: 
  253: =head1 DESCRIPTION
  254: 
  255: The Safe extension module allows the creation of compartments
  256: in which perl code can be evaluated. Each compartment has
  257: 
  258: =over 8
  259: 
  260: =item a new namespace
  261: 
  262: The "root" of the namespace (i.e. "main::") is changed to a
  263: different package and code evaluated in the compartment cannot
  264: refer to variables outside this namespace, even with run-time
  265: glob lookups and other tricks.
  266: 
  267: Code which is compiled outside the compartment can choose to place
  268: variables into (or I<share> variables with) the compartment's namespace
  269: and only that data will be visible to code evaluated in the
  270: compartment.
  271: 
  272: By default, the only variables shared with compartments are the
  273: "underscore" variables $_ and @_ (and, technically, the less frequently
  274: used %_, the _ filehandle and so on). This is because otherwise perl
  275: operators which default to $_ will not work and neither will the
  276: assignment of arguments to @_ on subroutine entry.
  277: 
  278: =item an operator mask
  279: 
  280: Each compartment has an associated "operator mask". Recall that
  281: perl code is compiled into an internal format before execution.
  282: Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes
  283: the code to be compiled into an internal format and then,
  284: provided there was no error in the compilation, executed.
  285: Code evaluated in a compartment compiles subject to the
  286: compartment's operator mask. Attempting to evaluate code in a
  287: compartment which contains a masked operator will cause the
  288: compilation to fail with an error. The code will not be executed.
  289: 
  290: The default operator mask for a newly created compartment is
  291: the ':default' optag.
  292: 
  293: It is important that you read the Opcode(3) module documentation
  294: for more information, especially for detailed definitions of opnames,
  295: optags and opsets.
  296: 
  297: Since it is only at the compilation stage that the operator mask
  298: applies, controlled access to potentially unsafe operations can
  299: be achieved by having a handle to a wrapper subroutine (written
  300: outside the compartment) placed into the compartment. For example,
  301: 
  302:     $cpt = new Safe;
  303:     sub wrapper {
  304:         # vet arguments and perform potentially unsafe operations
  305:     }
  306:     $cpt->share('&wrapper');
  307:

  314: suitability of this software for safety or security purposes.
  315:

  321: 
  322: 
  323: =head2 RECENT CHANGES
  324: 
  325: The interface to the Safe module has changed quite dramatically since
  326: version 1 (as supplied with Perl5.002). Study these pages carefully if
  327: you have code written to use Safe version 1 because you will need to
  328: makes changes.
  329: 
  330: 
  331: =head2 Methods in class Safe
  332: 
  333: To create a new compartment, use
  334: 
  335:     $cpt = new Safe;
  336: 
  337: Optional argument is (NAMESPACE), where NAMESPACE is the root namespace
  338: to use for the compartment (defaults to "Safe::Root0", incremented for
  339: each new compartment).
  340: 
  341: Note that version 1.00 of the Safe module supported a second optional
  342: parameter, MASK.  That functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper
  343: consideration. Use the permit and deny methods described below.
  344: 
  345: The following methods can then be used on the compartment
  346: object returned by the above constructor. The object argument
  347: is implicit in each case.
  348: 
  349: 
  350: =over 8
  351: 
  352: =item permit (OP, ...)
  353: 
  354: Permit the listed operators to be used when compiling code in the
  355: compartment (in I<addition> to any operators already permitted).
  356: 
  357: =item permit_only (OP, ...)
  358: 
  359: Permit I<only> the listed operators to be used when compiling code in
  360: the compartment (I<no> other operators are permitted).
  361: 
  362: =item deny (OP, ...)
  363: 
  364: Deny the listed operators from being used when compiling code in the
  365: compartment (other operators may still be permitted).
  366: 
  367: =item deny_only (OP, ...)
  368: 
  369: Deny I<only> the listed operators from being used when compiling code
  370: in the compartment (I<all> other operators will be permitted).
  371: 
  372: =item trap (OP, ...)
  373: 
  374: =item untrap (OP, ...)
  375: 
  376: The trap and untrap methods are synonyms for deny and permit
  377: respectfully.
  378: 
  379: =item share (NAME, ...)
  380: 
  381: This shares the variable(s) in the argument list with the compartment.
  382: This is almost identical to exporting variables using the L<Exporter(3)>
  383: module.
  384: 
  385: Each NAME must be the B<name> of a variable, typically with the leading
  386: type identifier included. A bareword is treated as a function name.
  387: 
  388: Examples of legal names are '$foo' for a scalar, '@foo' for an
  389: array, '%foo' for a hash, '&foo' or 'foo' for a subroutine and '*foo'
  390: for a glob (i.e.  all symbol table entries associated with "foo",
  391: including scalar, array, hash, sub and filehandle).
  392: 
  393: Each NAME is assumed to be in the calling package. See share_from
  394: for an alternative method (which share uses).
  395: 
  396: =item share_from (PACKAGE, ARRAYREF)
  397: 
  398: This method is similar to share() but allows you to explicitly name the
  399: package that symbols should be shared from. The symbol names (including
  400: type characters) are supplied as an array reference.
  401: 
  402:     $safe->share_from('main', [ '$foo', '%bar', 'func' ]);
  403: 
  404: 
  405: =item varglob (VARNAME)
  406: 
  407: This returns a glob reference for the symbol table entry of VARNAME in
  408: the package of the compartment. VARNAME must be the B<name> of a
  409: variable without any leading type marker. For example,
  410: 
  411:     $cpt = new Safe 'Root';
  412:     $Root::foo = "Hello world";
  413:     # Equivalent version which doesn't need to know $cpt's package name:
  414:     ${$cpt->varglob('foo')} = "Hello world";
  415: 
  416: 
  417: =item reval (STRING)
  418: 
  419: This evaluates STRING as perl code inside the compartment.
  420: 
  421: The code can only see the compartment's namespace (as returned by the
  422: B<root> method). The compartment's root package appears to be the
  423: C<main::> package to the code inside the compartment.
  424: 
  425: Any attempt by the code in STRING to use an operator which is not permitted
  426: by the compartment will cause an error (at run-time of the main program
  427: but at compile-time for the code in STRING).  The error is of the form
  428: "%s trapped by operation mask operation...".
  429: 
  430: If an operation is trapped in this way, then the code in STRING will
  431: not be executed. If such a trapped operation occurs or any other
  432: compile-time or return error, then $@ is set to the error message, just
  433: as with an eval().
  434: 
  435: If there is no error, then the method returns the value of the last
  436: expression evaluated, or a return statement may be used, just as with
  437: subroutines and B<eval()>. The context (list or scalar) is determined
  438: by the caller as usual.
  439: 
  440: This behaviour differs from the beta distribution of the Safe extension
  441: where earlier versions of perl made it hard to mimic the return
  442: behaviour of the eval() command and the context was always scalar.
  443: 
  444: Some points to note:
  445: 
  446: If the entereval op is permitted then the code can use eval "..." to
  447: 'hide' code which might use denied ops. This is not a major problem
  448: since when the code tries to execute the eval it will fail because the
  449: opmask is still in effect. However this technique would allow clever,
  450: and possibly harmful, code to 'probe' the boundaries of what is
  451: possible.
  452: 
  453: Any string eval which is executed by code executing in a compartment,
  454: or by code called from code executing in a compartment, will be eval'd
  455: in the namespace of the compartment. This is potentially a serious
  456: problem.
  457: 
  458: Consider a function foo() in package pkg compiled outside a compartment
  459: but shared with it. Assume the compartment has a root package called
  460: 'Root'. If foo() contains an eval statement like eval '$foo = 1' then,
  461: normally, $pkg::foo will be set to 1.  If foo() is called from the
  462: compartment (by whatever means) then instead of setting $pkg::foo, the
  463: eval will actually set $Root::pkg::foo.
  464: 
  465: This can easily be demonstrated by using a module, such as the Socket
  466: module, which uses eval "..." as part of an AUTOLOAD function. You can
  467: 'use' the module outside the compartment and share an (autoloaded)
  468: function with the compartment. If an autoload is triggered by code in
  469: the compartment, or by any code anywhere that is called by any means
  470: from the compartment, then the eval in the Socket module's AUTOLOAD
  471: function happens in the namespace of the compartment. Any variables
  472: created or used by the eval'd code are now under the control of
  473: the code in the compartment.
  474: 
  475: A similar effect applies to I<all> runtime symbol lookups in code
  476: called from a compartment but not compiled within it.
  477: 
  478: 
  479: 
  480: =item rdo (FILENAME)
  481: 
  482: This evaluates the contents of file FILENAME inside the compartment.
  483: See above documentation on the B<reval> method for further details.
  484: 
  485: =item root (NAMESPACE)
  486: 
  487: This method returns the name of the package that is the root of the
  488: compartment's namespace.
  489: 
  490: Note that this behaviour differs from version 1.00 of the Safe module
  491: where the root module could be used to change the namespace. That
  492: functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper consideration.
  493: 
  494: =item mask (MASK)
  495: 
  496: This is a get-or-set method for the compartment's operator mask.
  497: 
  498: With no MASK argument present, it returns the current operator mask of
  499: the compartment.
  500: 
  501: With the MASK argument present, it sets the operator mask for the
  502: compartment (equivalent to calling the deny_only method).

  507: =head2 Some Safety Issues
  508: 
  509: This section is currently just an outline of some of the things code in
  510: a compartment might do (intentionally or unintentionally) which can
  511: have an effect outside the compartment.
  512: 
  513: =over 8
  514: 
  515: =item Memory
  516: 
  517: Consuming all (or nearly all) available memory.
  518: 
  519: =item CPU
  520: 
  521: Causing infinite loops etc.
  522: 
  523: =item Snooping
  524: 
  525: Copying private information out of your system. Even something as
  526: simple as your user name is of value to others. Much useful information
  527: could be gleaned from your environment variables for example.
  528: 
  529: =item Signals
  530: 
  531: Causing signals (especially SIGFPE and SIGALARM) to affect your process.
  532: 
  533: Setting up a signal handler will need to be carefully considered
  534: and controlled.  What mask is in effect when a signal handler
  535: gets called?  If a user can get an imported function to get an
  536: exception and call the user's signal handler, does that user's
  537: restricted mask get re-instated before the handler is called?
  538: Does an imported handler get called with its original mask or
  539: the user's one?
  540: 
  541: =item State Changes
  542: 
  543: Ops such as chdir obviously effect the process as a whole and not just
  544: the code in the compartment. Ops such as rand and srand have a similar
  545: but more subtle effect.
