The work on Capsicum and related projects (such as Casper, + libnv, etc.) is progressing nicely. An overhaul of the + cap_rights_t was committed to &os; head and + will be included in 10.0. This allows us to have more + capability rights on file descriptors than the previous limit of + 64 rights, which was almost reached. This change is not + backward compatible, so it was very important to get it into + 10.0.

+ +

libnv, used for communication between Casper services + and consumers, but hopefully will be used more widely, is + finalized and comes with a nice set of regression tests.

+ +

The number of applications sandboxed using the Capsicum + framework is increasing. We have around 10 of them already in + base and more that are not yet committed.

+ + + + Finish documentation of Casper and its services. + + Implement regression tests for Casper services. + + Finish documentation for libnv. + + Start making libc more sandbox-friendly, that is, + functions such as strerror(3), strsignal(3), + localtime(3), login_get*(), + getservent(3), getprotent(3), + getrpcent(3) open files on first use, which might be + too late if we are already in a capability-mode sandbox. + + Rethink the system.filesystem Casper service to + allow for easy compartmentalization of various command-line + tools that operate on multiple files. + +
