Trees of Seccomp security profiles allowing restrictions on containers, inheritance and extend options to Seccomp security profiles used in distributed cloud platform.

Requirements

• ETCD Database running (preferably on port 2379)

• Go version go1.20.6 or newer

Setup

Database:

ETCD may run on Windows or Linux systems and can be Dockersied

Linux setup:

• Clone the repo

git clone -b v3.5.0 https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd.git

• Change directory

cd etcd

• Run the build script

./build.sh

• Add the full path to the bin directory to your path, for example

export PATH="$PATH:pwd/bin"

• Test that etcd is in your path:

etcd --version

• Run ETCD database

etcd

Service Usage

Service currently has 5 grcp endpoints defined:

• GetSeccompProfile

• DefineSeccompProfile

• ExtendSeccompProfile

• GetAllDescendantProfiles

GetSeccompProfile - Takes in Namespace, Application, Name, Version and Architecture as input. Returns Seccomp Profile if it is found in the database. Otherwise, provides a message of unsuccessful fetching.

DefineSeccompProfile Takes in Namespace, Application, Name, Version, Architecture and Seccomp profile definition as input. If the name of profile is unique, profile is created. Otherwise, client is notified of failed action.

ExtendSeccompProfile Takes in name of extending and name of defining profile. May take an optional parameter in form of syscalls (additional system calls which defining profile should add onto its definition) If syscalls are provided as parameter, user may expect 2 scenarios:

• Defining profile extends an extending profile and adds syscalls

• Added syscalls are in conflict with existing syscalls from extending profile (eg. extending profile has mkdir as forbidden action while syscalls coming from the request define mkdir as allowed action. In this case priority is given to syscalls parameter. User is notified that there was a conflict resulting in successful profile creattion but the defined profile won't be added as a child in hierarchy to extending profile

GetAllDescendantProfiles - Takes the same input as GetSeccompProfile but returns a list of all descendants in tree hierarchy of provided profile.

Get All Descendant Profiles in tree hierarchy

Endpoint: GetAllDescendantProfiles

Request Body:

{
    "namespace" : "namespace",
    "application" : "application",
    "name" : "profileName",
    "version" : "v1",
    "architecture" : "x86"

		"application": "application",
		"name": "profileName",
		"version": "v1",
		"architecture": "x86"
	},
	"definition": {
		"architectures": [
		"x86"
		],

Get Seccomp Profiles by Prefix Search

Endpoint GetSeccompProfilesByPrefix

Request { "namespace" : "namespace" }

Response

{
	"profiles": [
	{
		"profile": {
		"namespace": "namespace",
		"application": "application",
		"name": "profileName",
		"version": "v1",
		"architecture": "x86"
	},
	"definition": {
		"architectures": [
		"x86"
		],
		"syscalls": [
		{
			"names": ["DELETE","MKDIR"],
			"action": "ALLOW"
		}
		],
		"defaultAction": "ALLOW"
		}
	}
	]
}

Note: The Request Body can be the same as in GetSeccompProfile. Profiles names are saved in database in next format:

namespace-application-profileName-version-architecture

Therefore, namespace is the only field needed for prefix profile search. Rest of them are optional.It's not possible to provide arguments which break the order. For example, if you provide namespace, you can provide application as well, but you cant provide profile name or version or architecture as you are missing an application argument in your prefix search. You can only provide Profile Name IF YOU ALREADY HAVE PROVIDED NAMESPACE AND APPLICATION and so on. Also, it is possible to provide only the 'begining string' of the LAST ARGUMENT. These would also be valid requests:

{ "namespace" : "namesp" }

This would return all the profiles from the database whose namespace starts with namesp. Another example of the valid request:

{ "namespace" : "namespace", "application": "application", "profile" :"pro"}

This would return all the profiles from the database whose keys starts with namespace-application-pro.
