setfsuid
SETFSUID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SETFSUID(2)
NAME
setfsuid - set user identity used for filesystem checks
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/fsuid.h>
int setfsuid(uid_t fsuid);
DESCRIPTION
The system call setfsuid() changes the value of the caller's filesystem user ID--the user ID that the Linux kernel uses to check for all
accesses to the filesystem. Normally, the value of the filesystem user ID will shadow the value of the effective user ID. In fact, when-
ever the effective user ID is changed, the filesystem user ID will also be changed to the new value of the effective user ID.
Explicit calls to setfsuid() and setfsgid(2) are usually used only by programs such as the Linux NFS server that need to change what user
and group ID is used for file access without a corresponding change in the real and effective user and group IDs. A change in the normal
user IDs for a program such as the NFS server is a security hole that can expose it to unwanted signals. (But see below.)
setfsuid() will succeed only if the caller is the superuser or if fsuid matches either the caller's real user ID, effective user ID, saved
set-user-ID, or current filesystem user ID.
RETURN VALUE
On both success and failure, this call returns the previous filesystem user ID of the caller.
VERSIONS
This system call is present in Linux since version 1.2.
CONFORMING TO
setfsuid() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
At the time when this system call was introduced, one process could send a signal to another process with the same effective user ID. This
meant that if a privileged process changed its effective user ID for the purpose of file permission checking, then it could become vulnera-
ble to receiving signals sent by another (unprivileged) process with the same user ID. The filesystem user ID attribute was thus added to
allow a process to change its user ID for the purposes of file permission checking without at the same time becoming vulnerable to receiv-
ing unwanted signals. Since Linux 2.0, signal permission handling is different (see kill(2)), with the result that a process change can
change its effective user ID without being vulnerable to receiving signals from unwanted processes. Thus, setfsuid() is nowadays unneeded
and should be avoided in new applications (likewise for setfsgid(2)).
The original Linux setfsuid() system call supported only 16-bit user IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added setfsuid32() supporting 32-bit
IDs. The glibc setfsuid() wrapper function transparently deals with the variation across kernel versions.
C library/kernel differences
In glibc 2.15 and earlier, when the wrapper for this system call determines that the argument can't be passed to the kernel without integer
truncation (because the kernel is old and does not support 32-bit user IDs), they will return -1 and set errno to EINVAL without attempting
the system call.
BUGS
No error indications of any kind are returned to the caller, and the fact that both successful and unsuccessful calls return the same value
makes it impossible to directly determine whether the call succeeded or failed. Instead, the caller must resort to looking at the return
value from a further call such as setfsuid(-1) (which will always fail), in order to determine if a preceding call to setfsuid() changed
the filesystem user ID. At the very least, EPERM should be returned when the call fails (because the caller lacks the CAP_SETUID capabil-
ity).
