policy and session logging. +Plugins may be compiled as dynamic shared objects (the default on +systems that support them) or compiled statically into the +\fBsudo\fR +binary itself. +By default, the +\fBsudoers\fR +plugin provides audit, security policy and I/O logging capabilities. +Via the plugin API, +\fBsudo\fR +can be configured to use alternate plugins provided by third parties. +The plugins to be used are specified in the +sudo.conf(@mansectform@) +file. +.PP +The API is versioned with a major and minor number. +The minor version number is incremented when additions are made. +The major number is incremented when incompatible changes are made. +A plugin should be check the version passed to it and make sure that the +major version matches. +.PP +The plugin API is defined by the +<\fIsudo_plugin.h\fR> +header file. +.SS "Policy plugin API" +A policy plugin must declare and populate a +\fIstruct policy_plugin\fR +in the global scope. +This structure contains pointers to the functions that implement the +\fBsudo\fR +policy checks. +The name of the symbol should be specified in +sudo.conf(@mansectform@) +along with a path to the plugin so that +\fBsudo\fR +can load it.

intercept +mode using +ptrace(2). +This is currently only true for Linux systems that support +seccomp(2) +filtering and the +\(lqtrap\(rq +action. +Other systems will use a dynamic shared object to implement +intercept. +Only available starting with API version 1.19. +.TP 6n +intercept_setid=bool +Indicates whether or not the system supports running set-user-ID +and set-group-ID binaries in

other +programs that it executes. +The policy plugin may refuse to execute a set-user-ID or set-group-ID +binary in intercept mode to avoid this. +Only available starting with API version 1.19. +.TP

+\(lq192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0\(rq. +The address and netmask pairs may be either IPv4 or IPv6, depending on +what the operating system supports. +If the address contains a colon +(\(oq:\&\(cq), +it is an IPv6 address, else it is IPv4. +.TP 6n +noninteractive=bool +Set to true if the user specified the +\fB\-n\fR +option, indicating that +\fBsudo\fR +should operate in non-interactive mode. +The plugin may reject a command run in non-interactive mode if user +interaction is required. +.TP 6n +plugin_dir=string +The default plugin directory used by the +\fBsudo\fR +front-end. +This is the default directory set at compile time and may not +correspond to the directory the running plugin was loaded from. +It may be used by a plugin to locate support files. +.TP 6n +plugin_path=string +The

to true if the user specified the +\fB\-E\fR +option, indicating that +the user wishes to preserve the environment. +.TP 6n +preserve_groups=bool +Set to true if the user specified the +\fB\-P\fR

host to run the command on, if specified via +the +\fB\-h\fR +option. +Support for running the command on a remote host is meant to be implemented +via a helper program that is executed in place of the user-specified command. +The +\fBsudo\fR +front-end is only capable of executing commands on the local host. +Only available starting with API version 1.4. +.TP 6n +run_shell=bool +Set to true if

+\fB\-g\fR +option. +.TP 6n +runas_user=string +The user name or user-ID to run the command as, if specified via the +\fB\-u\fR +option. +.TP 6n +selinux_role=string +SELinux role to use when executing the command, if specified by +the +\fB\-r\fR +option. +.TP 6n +selinux_type=string +SELinux type to use when executing the command, if specified by +the +\fB\-t\fR +option. +.TP 6n

when the +\fB\-e\fR +option is specified or if invoked as +\fBsudoedit\fR. +The plugin shall substitute an editor into +\fIargv\fR +in the +\fBcheck_policy\fR() +function or return \-2 with a usage error +if the plugin does not support +\fIsudoedit\fR. +For more information, see the +\fBcheck_policy\fR() +section. +.TP 6n +timeout=string +Command timeout specified by the user via the +\fB\-T\fR +option. +Not all plugins support command timeouts and the ability of the +user to set a timeout may be restricted by policy. +The format of the timeout string is plugin-specific. +.TP 6n +update_ticket=bool +Set to false if the user specified the +\fB\-N\fR +option, indicating that the user wishes to avoid updating any cached +authentication credentials. +Only available starting with API version 1.20. +.PP +Additional settings may be added in the future so the plugin should +silently ignore settings that it does not recognize. +.RE +.TP 6n +\fIuser_info\fR +A vector of information about the user running the command in the form of +\(lqname=value\(rq +strings. +The vector is terminated by a +\fRNULL\fR +pointer. +.sp +When parsing +\fIuser_info\fR, +the plugin should split on

+\fBsudo\fR +will treat an inability to change to the new working directory as a +non-fatal error. +This setting has no effect unless +\fIcwd\fR +is also set. +.TP 6n +exec_background=bool +By default, +\fBsudo\fR +runs a command as the foreground process as long as +\fBsudo\fR +itself is running in the foreground. +When +\fIexec_background\fR +is enabled and the command is being run in a pseudo-terminal +(due to I/O logging or the +\fIuse_pty\fR +setting), the command will be run as a background process. +Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal +settings) will result in the command being suspended with the +\fRSIGTTIN\fR +signal (or +\fRSIGTTOU\fR +in the case of terminal settings). +If this happens when +\fBsudo\fR +is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal +and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required. +The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that +\fBsudo\fR +need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it. +Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it +has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible +to tell whether the command really wants the input). +This is different from historic +\fBsudo\fR +behavior or when the command is not being run in a pseudo-terminal. +.sp +For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the +automatic restarting of system calls. +Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default, +and even those that do may have bugs. +For example, macOS fails to restart the +\fBtcgetattr\fR() +and +\fBtcsetattr\fR() +system calls (this is a bug in macOS). +Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the +\fRSIGTTIN\fR +or +\fRSIGTTOU\fR +signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves +with a different signal (usually +\fRSIGTOP\fR) +will not be automatically foregrounded. +Some versions of the linux +su(1) +command behave this way. +Because of this, a plugin should not set +\fIexec_background\fR +unless it is explicitly enabled by the
