#include <unistd.h> -.P -.BI "int execve(const char *" pathname ", char *const _Nullable " argv [], -.BI " char *const _Nullable " envp []); -.fi -.SH DESCRIPTION -.BR execve () -executes the program referred to by \fIpathname\fP. -This causes the program that is currently being run by the calling process -to be replaced with a new program, with newly initialized stack, heap, -and (initialized and uninitialized) data segments. -.P -\fIpathname\fP must be either a binary executable, or a script -starting with a line of the form: -.P -.in +4n -.EX -\fB#!\fP\fIinterpreter \fP[optional-arg] -.EE -.in -.P -For details of the latter case, see "Interpreter scripts" below. -.P -.I argv -is an array of pointers to strings passed to the new program -as its command-line arguments. -By convention, the first of these strings (i.e., -.IR argv[0] ) -should contain the filename associated with the file being executed. -The -.I argv -array must be terminated by a null pointer. -(Thus, in the new program, -.I argv[argc] -will be a null pointer.) -.P -.I envp -is an array of pointers to strings, conventionally of the form -.BR key=value , -which are passed as the environment of the new program. -The -.I envp -array must be terminated by a null pointer. -.P -This manual page describes the Linux system call in detail; -for an overview of the nomenclature and the many, often preferable, -standardised variants of this function provided by libc, -including ones that search the -.B PATH -environment variable, see -.BR exec (3). -.P -The argument vector and environment can be accessed by the -new program's main function, when it is defined as: -.P -.in +4n -.EX -int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[]) -.EE -.in -.P -Note, however, that the use of a third argument to the main function -is not specified in POSIX.1; -according to POSIX.1, -the environment should be accessed via the external variable -.BR environ (7). -.P -.BR execve () -does not return on success, and the text, initialized data, -uninitialized data (bss), and stack of the calling process are overwritten -according to the contents of the newly loaded program. -.P -If the current program is being ptraced, a \fBSIGTRAP\fP signal is sent to it -after a successful -.BR execve (). -.P -If the set-user-ID bit is set on the program file referred to by -\fIpathname\fP, -then the effective user ID of the calling process is changed -to that of the owner of the program file. -Similarly, if the set-group-ID bit is set on the program file, -then the effective group ID of the calling -process is set to the group of the program file. -.P -The aforementioned transformations of the effective IDs are -.I not -performed (i.e., the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits are ignored) -if any of the following is true: -.IP \[bu] 3 -the -.I no_new_privs -attribute is set for the calling thread (see -.BR prctl (2)); -.IP \[bu] -the underlying filesystem is mounted -.I nosuid -(the -.B MS_NOSUID -flag for -.BR mount (2)); -or -.IP \[bu] -the calling process is being ptraced. -.P -The capabilities of the program file (see -.BR capabilities (7)) -are also ignored if any of the above are true. -.P -The effective user ID of the process is copied to the saved set-user-ID; -similarly, the effective group ID is copied to the saved set-group-ID. -This copying takes place after any effective ID changes that occur -because of the set-user-ID and set-group-ID mode bits. -.P -The process's real UID and real GID, as well as its supplementary group IDs, -are unchanged by a call to -.BR execve (). -.P -If the executable is an a.out dynamically linked -binary executable containing -shared-library stubs, the Linux dynamic linker -.BR ld.so (8) -is called at the start of execution to bring -needed shared objects into memory -and link the executable with them. -.P -If the executable is a dynamically linked ELF executable, the -interpreter named in the PT_INTERP segment is used to load the needed -shared objects. -This interpreter is typically -.I /lib/ld\-linux.so.2 -for binaries linked with glibc (see -.BR ld\-linux.so (8)). -.\" -.SS Effect on process attributes -All process attributes are preserved during an -.BR execve (), -except the following: -.IP \[bu] 3 -The dispositions of any signals that are being caught are -reset to the default -.RB ( signal (7)). -.IP \[bu] -Any alternate signal stack is not preserved -.RB ( sigaltstack (2)). -.IP \[bu] -Memory mappings are not preserved -.RB ( mmap (2)). -.IP \[bu] -Attached System\ V shared memory segments are detached -.RB ( shmat

being ignored, -then an implementation may leave the disposition unchanged or -reset it to the default; Linux does the former. -.IP \[bu] -Any outstanding asynchronous I/O operations are canceled -.RB ( aio_read (3), -.BR aio_write (3)). -.IP \[bu] -For the handling of capabilities during -.BR execve (), -see -.BR capabilities (7). -.IP \[bu] -By default, file descriptors remain open across an -.BR

execve (), -and the process would gain privilege because the set-user-ID or -set-group-ID mode bit was set on the executed file, -then the system may open an unspecified file for each of these -file

bf2a9a39639b8b51377905397a5005f444e9a892 -the kernel permits the interpreter of a script to itself be a script. -This permission is recursive, up to a limit of four recursions, -so that the interpreter may be a script which is interpreted by a script, -and so on. -.SS Limits on size of arguments and environment -Most UNIX implementations impose some limit on the total size -of the command-line argument -.RI ( argv ) -and environment -.RI ( envp ) -strings that may be passed to a new program. -POSIX.1 allows an implementation to advertise this limit using the -.B ARG_MAX -constant (either defined in -.I <limits.h> -or available at run time using the call -.IR "sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)" ). -.P -Before Linux 2.6.23, the memory used to store the -environment and argument strings was limited to 32 pages -(defined by the kernel constant -.BR MAX_ARG_PAGES ). -On architectures with a 4-kB page size, -this yields a maximum size of 128\ kB. -.P -On Linux 2.6.23 and later, most architectures support a size limit -derived from the soft -.B RLIMIT_STACK -resource limit (see -.BR getrlimit (2)) -that is in force at the time of the -.BR execve () -call. -(Architectures with no memory management unit are excepted: -they maintain the limit that was in effect before Linux 2.6.23.) -This change allows programs to have a much larger -argument and/or environment list. -.\" For some background on the changes to ARG_MAX in Linux 2.6.23 and -.\" Linux 2.6.25, see: -.\" http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5786 -.\" http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10095

limited to 1/4 of the allowed -stack size. -(Imposing the 1/4-limit -ensures that the new program always has some stack space.) -.\" Ollie: That doesn't include the lists of pointers, though, -.\" so the actual usage is a bit higher (1 pointer per argument). -Additionally, the total size is limited to 3/4 of the value -of the kernel constant -.B _STK_LIM -(8 MiB). -Since Linux 2.6.25, -the kernel also places a floor of 32 pages on this size limit, -so that, even when -.B RLIMIT_STACK -is set very low, -applications are guaranteed to have at least as much argument and -environment space as was provided by Linux 2.6.22 and earlier. -(This guarantee was not provided in Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.24.) -Additionally, the limit per string is 32 pages (the kernel constant -.BR MAX_ARG_STRLEN ), -and the maximum number of strings is 0x7FFFFFFF. -.SH RETURN VALUE -On success, -.BR execve () -does not return, on error \-1 is returned, and -.I errno -is set to indicate the error. -.SH ERRORS -.TP -.B

-call. -Since UNIX\ V7, both are NULL. -.SH NOTES -One sometimes sees -.BR execve () -(and the related functions described in -.BR exec (3)) -described as "executing a -.I new -process" (or similar). -This is a highly misleading description: -there is no new process; -many attributes of the calling process remain unchanged -(in particular, its PID). -All that -.BR execve () -does is arrange for an existing process (the calling process) -to execute a new program. -.P -Set-user-ID and set-group-ID processes can not be -.BR ptrace (2)d. -.P -The result of mounting a filesystem -.I nosuid -varies across Linux kernel versions: -some will refuse execution of set-user-ID and set-group-ID -executables when this would -give the user powers they did not have already (and return -.BR EPERM ), -some will just ignore the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits and -.BR exec () -successfully. -.P -In most cases where -.BR execve () -fails, control returns to the original executable image, -and the caller of -.BR execve () -can then handle the error. -However, in (rare) cases (typically caused by resource exhaustion), -failure may occur past the point of no return: -the original executable image has been torn down, -but the new image could not be completely built. -In such cases, the kernel kills the process with a -.\" commit 19d860a140beac48a1377f179e693abe86a9dac9 -.B SIGSEGV -.RB ( SIGKILL -until Linux 3.17) -signal. -.SS execve() and EAGAIN -A more detailed explanation of the -.B EAGAIN -error that can occur (since Linux 3.1) when calling -.BR execve () -is as follows. -.P -The -.B EAGAIN -error can occur when a -.I preceding -call to -.BR setuid (2), -.BR setreuid (2), -or -.BR setresuid (2) -caused the real user ID of the process to change, -and that change caused the process to exceed its -.B RLIMIT_NPROC -resource limit (i.e., the number of processes belonging -to the new real UID exceeds the resource limit). -From Linux 2.6.0 to Linux 3.0, this caused the -.BR set*uid () -call to fail. -(Before Linux 2.6, -.\" commit 909cc4ae86f3380152a18e2a3c44523893ee11c4 -the resource limit was not imposed on processes that -changed their user IDs.) -.P -Since Linux 3.1, the scenario just described no longer causes the -.BR set*uid () -call to fail, -because it too often led to security holes where buggy applications -didn't check the return status and assumed -that\[em]if the caller had root privileges\[em]the call would always succeed. -Instead, the -.BR set*uid () -calls now successfully change the real UID, -but the kernel sets an internal flag, named -.BR PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED , -to note that the -.B RLIMIT_NPROC -resource limit has been exceeded. -If the -.B PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED -flag is set and the resource limit is still -exceeded at the time of a subsequent -.BR execve () -call, that call fails with the error -.BR EAGAIN . -This kernel logic ensures that the -.B RLIMIT_NPROC -resource limit is still enforced for the -common privileged daemon workflow\[em]namely, -.BR fork (2) -+ -.BR set*uid () -+ -.BR execve (). -.P -If the resource limit was not still exceeded at the time of the -.BR execve () -call -(because other processes belonging to this real UID terminated between the -.BR set*uid () -call and the -.BR execve () -call), then the -.BR execve () -call succeeds and the kernel clears the -.B PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED -process flag. -The flag is also cleared if a subsequent call to -.BR fork (2) -by this process succeeds. -.\" -.\" .SH BUGS -.\" Some Linux versions have failed to check permissions on ELF -.\" interpreters.
