Description

New minor version.

Release notes for 2.66 - 2022-09-24 13:37:39 -0700

  • Fix documentation typos in cap_from_text.3
  • Some getpcaps code clean up and a fix for PID argument parsing
  • Slightly more robust Makefiles to address an error with make -j48 test
  • Include a simple Go program, captrace, to trace kernel capability validation checks
    • This program can be used to figure out what capabilities a program needs to operate.
    • captrace (a wrapper for bpftrace) uses BPF kprobes to monitor the kernel for capability checks and whether or not they succeed for the system, a specific PID or a program's direct execution.
  • Trim down the default file capabilities for contrib/sucap/su to those actually needed and set USER and HOME environment variables so bash doesn't complain about a sourcing error.
