253=head1 NAME
254
255Safe - Compile and execute code in restricted compartments
256
257=head1 SYNOPSIS
258
259 use Safe;
260
261 $compartment = new Safe;
262
263 $compartment->permit(qw(time sort :browse));
264
265 $result = $compartment->reval($unsafe_code);
266
267=head1 DESCRIPTION
268
269The Safe extension module allows the creation of compartments
270in which perl code can be evaluated. Each compartment has
271
272=over 8
273
274=item a new namespace
275
276The "root" of the namespace (i.e. "main::") is changed to a
277different package and code evaluated in the compartment cannot
278refer to variables outside this namespace, even with run-time
279glob lookups and other tricks.
280
281Code which is compiled outside the compartment can choose to place
282variables into (or I<share> variables with) the compartment's namespace
283and only that data will be visible to code evaluated in the
284compartment.
285
286By default, the only variables shared with compartments are the
287"underscore" variables $_ and @_ (and, technically, the less frequently
288used %_, the _ filehandle and so on). This is because otherwise perl
289operators which default to $_ will not work and neither will the
290assignment of arguments to @_ on subroutine entry.
291
292=item an operator mask
293
294Each compartment has an associated "operator mask". Recall that
295perl code is compiled into an internal format before execution.
296Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes
297the code to be compiled into an internal format and then,
298provided there was no error in the compilation, executed.
299Code evaluated in a compartment compiles subject to the
300compartment's operator mask. Attempting to evaluate code in a
301compartment which contains a masked operator will cause the
302compilation to fail with an error. The code will not be executed.
303
304The default operator mask for a newly created compartment is
305the ':default' optag.
306
307It is important that you read the Opcode(3) module documentation
308for more information, especially for detailed definitions of opnames,
309optags and opsets.
310
311Since it is only at the compilation stage that the operator mask
312applies, controlled access to potentially unsafe operations can
313be achieved by having a handle to a wrapper subroutine (written
314outside the compartment) placed into the compartment. For example,
315
316 $cpt = new Safe;
317 sub wrapper {
318 # vet arguments and perform potentially unsafe operations
319 }
320 $cpt->share('&wrapper');

337=head2 RECENT CHANGES
338
339The interface to the Safe module has changed quite dramatically since
340version 1 (as supplied with Perl5.002). Study these pages carefully if
341you have code written to use Safe version 1 because you will need to
342makes changes.
343
344
345=head2 Methods in class Safe
346
347To create a new compartment, use
348
349 $cpt = new Safe;
350
351Optional argument is (NAMESPACE), where NAMESPACE is the root namespace
352to use for the compartment (defaults to "Safe::Root0", incremented for
353each new compartment).
354
355Note that version 1.00 of the Safe module supported a second optional
356parameter, MASK. That functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper
357consideration. Use the permit and deny methods described below.
358
359The following methods can then be used on the compartment
360object returned by the above constructor. The object argument
361is implicit in each case.
362
363
364=over 8
365
366=item permit (OP, ...)
367
368Permit the listed operators to be used when compiling code in the
369compartment (in I<addition> to any operators already permitted).
370
371You can list opcodes by names, or use a tag name; see
372L<Opcode/"Predefined Opcode Tags">.
373
374=item permit_only (OP, ...)
375
376Permit I<only> the listed operators to be used when compiling code in
377the compartment (I<no> other operators are permitted).
378
379=item deny (OP, ...)
380
381Deny the listed operators from being used when compiling code in the
382compartment (other operators may still be permitted).
383
384=item deny_only (OP, ...)
385
386Deny I<only> the listed operators from being used when compiling code
387in the compartment (I<all> other operators will be permitted).
388
389=item trap (OP, ...)
390
391=item untrap (OP, ...)
392
393The trap and untrap methods are synonyms for deny and permit
394respectfully.
395
396=item share (NAME, ...)
397
398This shares the variable(s) in the argument list with the compartment.
399This is almost identical to exporting variables using the L<Exporter>
400module.
401
402Each NAME must be the B<name> of a non-lexical variable, typically
403with the leading type identifier included. A bareword is treated as a
404function name.
405
406Examples of legal names are '$foo' for a scalar, '@foo' for an
407array, '%foo' for a hash, '&foo' or 'foo' for a subroutine and '*foo'
408for a glob (i.e. all symbol table entries associated with "foo",
409including scalar, array, hash, sub and filehandle).
410
411Each NAME is assumed to be in the calling package. See share_from
412for an alternative method (which share uses).
413
414=item share_from (PACKAGE, ARRAYREF)
415
416This method is similar to share() but allows you to explicitly name the
417package that symbols should be shared from. The symbol names (including
418type characters) are supplied as an array reference.
419
420 $safe->share_from('main', [ '$foo', '%bar', 'func' ]);
421
422
423=item varglob (VARNAME)
424
425This returns a glob reference for the symbol table entry of VARNAME in
426the package of the compartment. VARNAME must be the B<name> of a
427variable without any leading type marker. For example,
428
429 $cpt = new Safe 'Root';
430 $Root::foo = "Hello world";
431 # Equivalent version which doesn't need to know $cpt's package name:
432 ${$cpt->varglob('foo')} = "Hello world";
433
434
435=item reval (STRING)
436
437This evaluates STRING as perl code inside the compartment.
438
439The code can only see the compartment's namespace (as returned by the
440B<root> method). The compartment's root package appears to be the
441C<main::> package to the code inside the compartment.
442
443Any attempt by the code in STRING to use an operator which is not permitted
444by the compartment will cause an error (at run-time of the main program
445but at compile-time for the code in STRING). The error is of the form
446"'%s' trapped by operation mask...".
447
448If an operation is trapped in this way, then the code in STRING will
449not be executed. If such a trapped operation occurs or any other
450compile-time or return error, then $@ is set to the error message, just
451as with an eval().
452
453If there is no error, then the method returns the value of the last
454expression evaluated, or a return statement may be used, just as with
455subroutines and B<eval()>. The context (list or scalar) is determined
456by the caller as usual.
457
458This behaviour differs from the beta distribution of the Safe extension
459where earlier versions of perl made it hard to mimic the return
460behaviour of the eval() command and the context was always scalar.
461
462Some points to note:
463
464If the entereval op is permitted then the code can use eval "..." to
465'hide' code which might use denied ops. This is not a major problem
466since when the code tries to execute the eval it will fail because the
467opmask is still in effect. However this technique would allow clever,
468and possibly harmful, code to 'probe' the boundaries of what is
469possible.
470
471Any string eval which is executed by code executing in a compartment,
472or by code called from code executing in a compartment, will be eval'd
473in the namespace of the compartment. This is potentially a serious
474problem.
475
476Consider a function foo() in package pkg compiled outside a compartment
477but shared with it. Assume the compartment has a root package called
478'Root'. If foo() contains an eval statement like eval '$foo = 1' then,
479normally, $pkg::foo will be set to 1. If foo() is called from the
480compartment (by whatever means) then instead of setting $pkg::foo, the
481eval will actually set $Root::pkg::foo.
482
483This can easily be demonstrated by using a module, such as the Socket
484module, which uses eval "..." as part of an AUTOLOAD function. You can
485'use' the module outside the compartment and share an (autoloaded)
486function with the compartment. If an autoload is triggered by code in
487the compartment, or by any code anywhere that is called by any means
488from the compartment, then the eval in the Socket module's AUTOLOAD
489function happens in the namespace of the compartment. Any variables
490created or used by the eval'd code are now under the control of
491the code in the compartment.
492
493A similar effect applies to I<all> runtime symbol lookups in code
494called from a compartment but not compiled within it.
495
496
497
498=item rdo (FILENAME)
499
500This evaluates the contents of file FILENAME inside the compartment.
501See above documentation on the B<reval> method for further details.
502
503=item root (NAMESPACE)
504
505This method returns the name of the package that is the root of the
506compartment's namespace.
507
508Note that this behaviour differs from version 1.00 of the Safe module
509where the root module could be used to change the namespace. That
510functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper consideration.
511
512=item mask (MASK)
513
514This is a get-or-set method for the compartment's operator mask.
515
516With no MASK argument present, it returns the current operator mask of
517the compartment.
518
519With the MASK argument present, it sets the operator mask for the
520compartment (equivalent to calling the deny_only method).

525=head2 Some Safety Issues
526
527This section is currently just an outline of some of the things code in
528a compartment might do (intentionally or unintentionally) which can
529have an effect outside the compartment.
530
531=over 8
532
533=item Memory
534
535Consuming all (or nearly all) available memory.
536
537=item CPU
538
539Causing infinite loops etc.
540
541=item Snooping
542
543Copying private information out of your system. Even something as
544simple as your user name is of value to others. Much useful information
545could be gleaned from your environment variables for example.
546
547=item Signals
548
549Causing signals (especially SIGFPE and SIGALARM) to affect your process.
550
551Setting up a signal handler will need to be carefully considered
552and controlled. What mask is in effect when a signal handler
553gets called? If a user can get an imported function to get an
554exception and call the user's signal handler, does that user's
555restricted mask get re-instated before the handler is called?
556Does an imported handler get called with its original mask or
557the user's one?
558
559=item State Changes
560
561Ops such as chdir obviously effect the process as a whole and not just
562the code in the compartment. Ops such as rand and srand have a similar
563but more subtle effect.
