E.g. ip vrf exec examplevrf ping 10.0.0.1 + . + The ip command supports dropping capabilities, making an exception for ip vrf exec. + The drawback of setting the permissions is that if in the unlikely case of a + security critical bug being found before the ip command has dropped capabilities + then it could be used by an attacker to gain root permissions. + It's up to you to decide about the trade-offs and select the best setting for your + system. + This will give cap_dac_override, cap_net_admin and cap_sys_admin to /bin/ip. + . + More information about VRF can be found at: + https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt |
