具有CAP_SETUID的setuid（0）

Question

I am trying to change my uid to 0 as non-root with the CAP_SETUID capability. I have the following program:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/capability.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf("cap setuid in bset: %d\n", prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_SETUID, 0, 0, 0));
    printf("%s\n", cap_to_text(cap_get_file(argv[0]), NULL));
    printf("%s\n", cap_to_text(cap_get_proc(), NULL));
    printf("uid: %d\n", (int) getuid());
    setresuid(0, 0, 0);
    printf("uid: %d\n", (int) getuid());
    return 0;
}

I assign the setuid capability as follows:

sudo /sbin/setcap cap_setuid=ep ./capsetuid

And I get the following output

cap setuid in bset: 1
= cap_setuid+ep
=
uid: 1000
uid: 1000

I would expect the second printf() to also show the CAP_SETUID capability. Somehow my process does not get the setuid file capability. What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

刚刚发现，需要在内核命令行上使用file_caps = 1启用文件功能。

Answer 2

setuid() sets the effective user-id of the process, but getuid() gets the real user-id.

Change the getuid() to geteuid() and it should work.
