RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Laurent Bigonville 2017-01-02 14:39:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Hi,

I'm trying to override the CapabilityBoundingSet in a drop-in file but that doesn't seems to work. The upstream .service file is cleaning the set completely (CapabilityBoundingSet=) and in the drop-in file I'm trying to grant CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-30.el7_3.6.x86_64

# systemctl cat collectd.service 
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/collectd.service
[Unit]
Description=Collectd statistics daemon
Documentation=man:collectd(1) man:collectd.conf(5)
After=local-fs.target network-online.target
Requires=local-fs.target network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/collectd
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/collectd
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/collectd
ProtectSystem=full
ProtectHome=true

# A few plugins won't work without some privileges, which you'll have to
# specify using the CapabilityBoundingSet directive below.
#
# Here's a (incomplete) list of the plugins known capability requirements:
#   ceph            CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
#   dns             CAP_NET_RAW
#   exec            CAP_SETUID CAP_SETGID
#   iptables        CAP_NET_ADMIN
#   ping            CAP_NET_RAW
#   turbostat       CAP_SYS_RAWIO
#
# Example, if you use the iptables plugin alongside the dns or ping plugin:
#CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
#
# By default, drop all capabilities:
CapabilityBoundingSet=

NoNewPrivileges=true

# Tell systemd it will receive a notification from collectd over it's control
# socket once the daemon is ready. See systemd.service(5) for more details.
Type=notify

# Restart the collectd daemon when it fails.
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# /etc/systemd/system/collectd.service.d/capabilities.conf
[Service]

CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN

==========

# systemctl show -p CapabilityBoundingSet collectd.service 
CapabilityBoundingSet=0

==========


Somebody confirmed on IRC that it was working on Arch with version 232

Comment 1 Lukáš Nykrýn 2017-01-02 15:08:01 UTC
Looks like https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1221

We should look to these upstream patches and backport them if necessary.

cf677fe core/execute: add the magic character '!' to allow privileged execution (#3493)
661b37b core: fix capability bounding set parsing
b9d345b core: fix CapabilityBoundingSet merging

Probably not this one.

Comment 3 Christophe Vanlancker 2017-01-03 09:19:06 UTC
Same problem with:

# /etc/systemd/system/collectd.service.d/capabilities.conf
[Service]
CapabilityBoundingSet=
CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN
