Description of problem: The file /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin is installed as setuid root, but in the Netdata documentation is stated that only the capabilities cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace are needed. https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/apps.plugin/#permissions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netdata-1.21.0-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install netdata Actual results: $ ls -la /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin -rwsr-xr-x. 1 root root 103368 abr 7 23:47 /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin $ getcap -v /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin Expected results: $ ls -la /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 103368 abr 7 23:47 /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin $ getcap -v /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin = cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace+ep Additional info: I've not tested it, but something like this should work in the %files section: %attr(0755,root,root) %caps(cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace=ep) %{_libexecdir}/%{name}/plugins.d/apps.plugin
I have checked that the netdata installer restricts execution of that file to others, setting the permissions of /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin to 0750 root:netdata cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace=ep The netdata installer also makes other binaries root setuid, and restricted to others (4750 root:netdata) /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/slabinfo.plugin /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ebpf_process.plugin /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/cgroup-network /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/perf.plugin I'm not sure if those binaries require full root, but it will be worth exploring what's the minimum capabilities they need and restrict execution to the netdata group only.
