Cannot add process permitted capabilities through file permitted

39 Views Asked by At

I had a problem while I was playing around with capabilities. Basically I have a file "add.sh" which prints capabilities of the current process. I add cap_dac_override=eip capabilities to the file by using root user and then I switch to an unprivileged user.

When I check process capabilities, before running add.sh, the process capabilities are:

CapInh: 0000000000000000
CapPrm: 0000000000000000
CapEff: 0000000000000000
CapBnd: 00000000a80425fb
CapAmb: 0000000000000000

The "add.sh" file capabilities are still cap_dac_override=eip.

According to the Linux documentation, once executed, the script "add.sh" should have

P'(permitted) = (P(inheritable) & F(inheritable)) | **(F(permitted) & P(bounding))** | P'(ambient)

so I expected to have

CapPrm: (hex value for cap_dac_override)

Instead I still get

CapInh: 0000000000000000
CapPrm: 0000000000000000
CapEff: 0000000000000000
CapBnd: 00000000a80425fb
CapAmb: 0000000000000000

I would like to ask you where I'm wrong.
