If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service units are + inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded, + long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for + various security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric "exposure level" value, depending + on how important a setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which + is an estimation in the range 0.0…10.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure + levels indicate very little applied sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and + strongest security restrictions. Note that this only analyzes the per-service security features systemd + itself implements. This means that any additional security mechanisms applied by the service code + itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should not be misunderstood: a + high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the service code + itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels do + indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to + them.</para> + + <para>Please note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented — + unless combined with others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount + points many of the sandboxing options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is + essential that each service uses the most comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings + possible. The tool will take into account some of these combinations and relationships between the + settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing settings analyzed here only apply to + the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to an IPC system (such as + D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same + restrictions.
