This is pretty low-level functionality, hence placed in systemd-analyze.
This is useful for working with systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device-key=,
as it acquires the SRK without requiring the full tpm2-tss tool set.
When looking at configuration, often a user wants to suppress the comments and
just look at the parts that actually configure something, roughly equivalent to
systemd-analyze cat-config … | rg -v '^(#|;|$)
This switch implements this natively, skipping lines that start with a comment
character or only contain whitespace.
For formats that have section headers, section headers are skipped, if only
followed by stuff that would be skipped. (The last section header is printed
when we're about to print some actual output.)
Note that the caller doesn't know if the format has headers or not. We do format
type detection in pretty-print.c. So the caller only specifies tldr=true|false, and
conf_files_cat() figures out if the format has headers and whether those should
be handled specially.
The comments that show the file name are always printed, even if all of the file
is suppressed.
This is a partial answer to the discussions in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/28919,
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/29248. If the default config is shown in
config files, the user can conveniently use '--tldr' to show the relevant parts.
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
Dump*() methods can take quite some time due to the amount of data to
serialize, so they can potentially stall the manager. Make them
privileged, as they are debugging tools anyway. Use a new 'dump'
capability for polkit, and the 'reload' capability for SELinux, as
that's also non-destructive but slow.
If the caller is not privileged, allow it but rate limited to 10 calls
every 10 minutes.
(s) is just ugly with a vibe of DOS. In most cases just using the normal plural
form is more natural and gramatically correct.
There are some log_debug() statements left, and texts in foreign licenses or
headers. Those are not touched on purpose.
The new function DumpPatterns() can be used to limit (drastically) the size of
the data returned by PID1. Hence the optimization of serializing data into a
file descriptor should be less relevant than having the possibility to limit
the data when communicating with the service manager remotely.
NB: when passing patterns, the dump command omits the version of the manager as
well as the features and the timestamps.
The interface, output, and exit status convention are all taken directly from
rpmdev-vercmp and dpkg --compare-versions. The implementation is different
though. See test-string-util for a list of known cases where we compare
strings incompatibly.
The idea is that this string comparison function will be declared as "the"
method to use for boot entry ordering in the specification and similar
uses. Thus it's nice to allow users to compare strings.
Previously, systemd-analyze verify would return 0 even if warnings
were raised during analysis of the specified units or their
dependencies. With 3cc3dc7, verify was changed to return 1 when
warnings were raised.
This commit changes the default mode to _RECURSIVE_ERRORS_INVALID
so that verify returns zero again by default when warnings are
raised.
It turns out we can't have an Example nested in a list, and every
combination of nesting I tried looked bad either in troff or in html.
The whole example is moved to a separate section.
Allows to pass a portable profile when doing offline analysis of
units. Especially useful for analyzing portable images, since a
lot of the security-relevant settings in those cases come from
the profiles, but they are not shipped in the portable images.
In some cases an offline analysis should ignore some fields, for example
a portable service in an image will never list RootImage/RootDirectory, as
they are added at runtime, and thus can be skipped.
The new option --json= works with the 'security' verb and takes in one of three format flags.
These are off which is the default, pretty and short which use JSON format flags for output.
When set to true, it generates a JSON formatted output of the security analysis table. The
format is a JSON array with objects containing the following fields: set which indicates if
the id has been set or not, name which is what is used to refer to the id, json_field
which is the equivalent JSON formatted id name only used for JSON outputs, description which
is an outline of the id state, and exposure which is an unsigned integer in the range 0.0..10.0,
where a higher value corresponds to a higher security threat. The JSON version of the table is
printed on the standard output file.
Example Run:
The unit file testfile.service was created to test the --json= option
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (json-security)$ cat <<EOF >testfile.service
> [Service]
> ExecStart = echo hello
> PrivateNetwork = yes

For most fields, the text shown by `.id` is the value that should be set
in the unit file; however, for RestrictNamespaces, it is not. Changing
this to show the actual text makes it more clear to a user what the
actual change that needs to be made to the unit file is.
A new option --security-policy= is added to work with the 'security' verb in order to enable
users to create and pass in a JSON file consisting of user defined requirements
against which to compare the specified unit file(s). These requirements then serve
as the measure of security threats for the file instead of the initial hard coded set of
requirements that the 'security' verb of systemd-analyze relied on.
Example Run:
A snapshot of the user defined testfile.json file is shown below instead of the complete file

2. In order to ensure that the JSON data was actually being correctly parsed, I made some changes to the JSON
file, specifically to the id "PrivateNetwork" as follows:
Before:
--------
"PrivateNetwork":
{"description_good": "Service has no access to the host's network",
"description_bad": "Service has access to the host's network",
"weight": 2500,
"range": 1
}
After:
--------
"PrivateNetwork":
{"description_good": "Service runs without access to host network",
"description_bad": "Service has access to the host's network",
"weight": 6000,
"range": 1
}
As expected, the new description for the description_good field of the Private Network id was updated in
the analysis table outputted below and the overall exposure level of the unit file decreased because
the weight assigned to 'Private Network' (which is set to yes) increased from 2500 to 6000.

3. When paired with security's --threshold= option, systemd-analyze exits with a non-zero error status indicating
that the overall exposure level for the unit file (=78) is greater than the set threshold (=70). The same
jsontest.service file is used for the demo run below:

new option
--threshold option added to work with security verb and with the --offline option so that
users can determine what qualifies as a security threat. The threshold set by the user is
compared with the overall exposure level assigned to a unit file and if the exposure is
higher than the threshold, 'security' will return a non-zero exit status. The default value
of the --threshold option is 100.

2. Next, we use the same testcase.service file but add an additional --threshold=60 parameter. We would expect 'security' to exit

New option --offline which works with the 'security' command and takes in a boolean value. When set to true,
it performs an offline security review of the specified unit file(s). It does not rely on PID 1 to acquire
security information for the files like 'security' when used by itself does. It makes use of the refactored
security_info struct instead (commit #8cd669d3d3cf1b5e8667acc46ba290a9e8a8e529). This means that --offline can be
used with --image and --root as well. When used with --threshold, if a unit's overall exposure level is above
that set by the user, the default value being 100, --offline returns a non-zero exit status.
Example Run:

3. Next, we use the same testcase.service unit file but add the additional --threshold=60 option to see how --threshold works with

The commit introduces a callback invoked from log_syntax_internal.
Use it from systemd-analyze to gather a list of units that contain
syntax warnings. A new command line option is added to make use of this.
The new option --recursive-errors takes in three possible modes:
1. yes - which is the default. systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of the
specified units or any of their dependencies.
3. no - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification of only the selected unit.
Analyzing and loading any dependencies will be skipped.
4. one - systemd-analyze exits with an error when syntax warnings arise during verification
of only the selected units and their direct dependencies.
Below are two service unit files that I created for the purposes of testing:
1. First, we run the commands on a unit that does not have dependencies but has a non-existing key-value setting (i.e. foo = bar).
> cat <<EOF>testcase.service
[Unit]
foo = bar
[Service]
ExecStart = echo hello

The 'Unit sysinit.target not found' error that we see here is due to recursive dependency searching during
unit loading and has been addressed in a different PR:
systemd-analyze: add option to return an error value when unit verification fails #20233

Example Run:
foobar.service created below is a service unit file that has a non-existing key-value
pairing (foo = bar) and is thus, syntactically invalid.
