Processes created in the chrooted environment can not access files or resources outside of it. For that reason, compromising a service running in a chrooted environment should not allow the attacker to compromise the entire system. + However, a chroot has several limitations. It is suited to easy tasks which do not require much flexibility or complex, advanced features. Over time, many ways have been found to escape from a chrooted environment, making it a less than ideal solution for securing services. Jails improve on the concept of the traditional chroot environment in several ways. + In a traditional chroot environment, processes are only limited in the part of the file system they can access. The rest of the system resources, system users, running processes, and the networking subsystem are shared by the chrooted processes and the processes of the host system. Jails expand this model by virtualizing access to the file system, the set of users, and the networking subsystem. More fine-grained controls are available for tuning the access of a jailed environment. Jails can be considered as a type of operating system-level virtualization. -A jail is characterized by four elements: +This chapter covers: -* A directory subtree: the starting point from which a jail is entered. Once inside the jail, a process is not permitted to escape outside of this subtree. -* A hostname: which will be used by the jail. -* An IP address: which is assigned to the jail. The IP address of a jail is often an alias address for an existing network interface. -* A command: the path name of an executable to run inside the jail. The path is relative to the root directory of the jail environment. +* What a jail is and what purpose it may serve in FreeBSD installations. +* The different types of jail. +* The different ways to configure the network for a jail. +* The jail configuration file. +* How to create the different types of jail. +* How to start, stop, and restart a jail. +* The basics of jail administration, both from inside and outside the jail. +* How to upgrade the different types of jail. +* A incomplete list of the different FreeBSD jail managers. -Jails have their own set of users and their own `root` account which are limited to the jail environment. -The `root` account of a jail is not allowed to perform operations to the system outside of the associated jail environment. +[[jail-types]] +== Jail Types -This chapter provides an overview of the terminology and commands for managing FreeBSD jails. -Jails are a powerful tool for both system administrators, and advanced users. +Some administrators divide jails into different types, although the underlying technology is the same. +Each administrator will have to assess what type of jail to create in each case depending on the problem they have to solve. -After reading this chapter, you will know: +Below can be found a list of the different types, their characteristics, and considerations for use. -* What a jail is and what purpose it may serve in FreeBSD installations. -* How to build, start, and stop a jail. -* The basics of jail administration, both from inside and outside the jail. +[[thick-jails]] +=== Thick Jails -[IMPORTANT] -==== -Jails are a powerful tool, but they are not a security panacea. -While it is not possible for a jailed process to break out on its own, there are several ways in which an unprivileged user outside the jail can cooperate with a privileged user inside the jail to obtain elevated privileges in the host environment. +A thick jail is a traditional form of FreeBSD Jail. +In a thick jail, a complete copy of the base system is replicated within the jail's environment. +This means that the jail has its own separate instance of the FreeBSD base system, including libraries, executables, and configuration files. +The jail can be thought of as an almost complete standalone FreeBSD installation, but running within the confines of the host system. +This isolation ensures that the processes within the jail are kept separate from those on the host and other jails. -Most of these attacks can be mitigated by ensuring that the jail root is not accessible to unprivileged users in the host environment. -As a general rule, untrusted users with privileged access to a jail should not be given access to the host environment. -==== +Advantages of Thick Jails: -[[jails-terms]] -== Terms Related to Jails +* High degree of isolation: Processes within the jail are isolated from the host system and other jails. +* Independence: Thick jails can have different versions of libraries, configurations, and software than the host system or other jails. +* Security: Since the jail contains its own base system, vulnerabilities or issues affecting the jail environment won't directly impact the host or other jails. -To facilitate better understanding of parts of the FreeBSD system related to jails, their internals and the way they interact with the rest of FreeBSD, the following terms are used further in this chapter: +Disadvantages of Thick Jails: -man:chroot[8] (command):: -Utility, which uses man:chroot[2] FreeBSD system call to change the root directory of a process and all its descendants. +* Resource overhead: Because each jail maintains its own separate base system, thick jails consume more resources compared to thin jails. +* Maintenance: Each jail requires its own maintenance and updates for its base system components. -man:chroot[2] (environment):: -The environment of processes running in a "chroot". -This includes resources such as the part of the file system which is visible, user and group IDs which are available, network interfaces and other IPC mechanisms, etc. +[[thin-jails]] +=== Thin Jails -man:jail[8] (command):: -The system administration utility which allows launching of processes within a jail environment. +A thin jail shares the base system using OpenZFS snapshots or NullFS mounts from a template. +Only a minimal subset of base system is duplicated for each thin jail, resulting in less resource consumption compared to a thick jail. +However, this also means that thin jails have less isolation and independence compared to thick jails. +Changes in shared components could potentially affect multiple thin jails simultaneously. -host (system, process, user, etc.):: -The controlling system of a jail environment. -The host system has access to all the hardware resources available, and can control processes both outside of and inside a jail environment. -One of the important differences of the host system from a jail is that the limitations which apply to superuser processes inside a jail are not enforced for processes of the host system. +In summary, a FreeBSD Thin Jail is a type of FreeBSD Jail that replicates a substantial portion, but not all, of the base system within the isolated environment. -hosted (system, process, user, etc.):: -A process, user or other entity, whose access to resources is restricted by a FreeBSD jail. +Advantages of Thin Jails: -[[jails-build]] -== Creating and Controlling Jails +* Resource Efficiency: Thin jails are more resource-efficient compared to thick jails. Since they share most of the base system, they consume less disk space and memory. This makes it possible to run more jails on the same hardware without consuming excessive resources. +* Faster Deployment: Creating and launching thin jails is generally faster compared to thick jails. This can be particularly advantageous when you need to rapidly deploy multiple instances. +* Unified Maintenance: Since thin jails share the majority of their base system with the host system, updates and maintenance of common base system components (such as libraries and binaries) only need to be done once on the host. This simplifies the maintenance process compared to maintaining an individual base system for each thick jail. +* Shared Resources: Thin jails can more easily share common resources such as libraries and binaries with the host system. This can potentially lead to more efficient disk caching and improved performance for applications within the jail. -Some administrators divide jails into the following two types: "complete" jails, which resemble a real FreeBSD system, and "service" jails, dedicated to one application or service, possibly running with privileges. -This is only a conceptual division and the process of building a jail is not affected by it. -When creating a "complete" jail there are two options for the source of the userland: use prebuilt binaries (such as those supplied on an install media) or build from source. +Disadvantages of Thin Jails: -=== Installing a Jail +* Reduced Isolation: The primary disadvantage of thin jails is that they offer less isolation compared to thick jails. Since they share a significant portion of the template's base system, vulnerabilities or issues affecting shared components could potentially impact multiple jails simultaneously. +* Security Concerns: The reduced isolation in thin jails could pose security risks, as a compromise in one jail might have a greater potential to affect other jails or the host system. +* Dependency Conflicts: If multiple thin jails require different versions of the same libraries or software, managing dependencies can become complex. In some cases, this might require additional effort to ensure compatibility. +* Compatibility Challenges: Applications within a thin jail might encounter compatibility issues if they assume a certain base system environment that differs from the shared components provided by the template. -[[jails-install-internet]] -==== To install a Jail from the Internet +[[vnet-jails]] +=== VNET Jails -The man:bsdinstall[8] tool can be used to fetch and install the binaries needed for a jail. -This will walk through the picking of a mirror, which distributions will be installed into the destination directory, and some basic configuration of the jail: +A FreeBSD VNET jail is a virtualized environment that allows for the isolation and control of network resources for processes running within it. +It provides a high level of network segmentation and security by creating a separate network stack for processes within the jail, +ensuring that network traffic within the jail is isolated from the host system and other jails. -[source,shell] -.... -# bsdinstall jail /here/is/the/jail -.... +In essence, FreeBSD VNET jails add a network configuration mechanism. +This means a VNET jail can be created as a Thick or Thin Jail. -Once the command is complete, the next step is configuring the host to run the jail. +[[linux-jails]] +=== Linux Jails -[[jails-install-iso]] -==== To install a Jail from an ISO +A FreeBSD Linux Jail is a feature in the FreeBSD operating system that enables the use of Linux binaries and applications within a FreeBSD jail. +This functionality is achieved by incorporating a compatibility layer that allows certain Linux system calls and libraries to be translated and executed on the FreeBSD kernel. +The purpose of a Linux Jail is to facilitate the execution of Linux software on a FreeBSD system without needing a separate Linux virtual machine or environment. -To install the userland from installation media, first create the root directory for the jail. -This can be done by setting the `DESTDIR` variable to the proper location. +[[host-configuration]] +== Host Configuration -Start a shell and define `DESTDIR`: +Before creating any jail on the host system it is necessary to perform certain configuration and obtain some information from the host system. -[source,shell] -.... -# sh -# export DESTDIR=/here/is/the/jail -.... +It will be necessary to configure the man:jail[8] utility, create the necessary directories to configure and install jails, obtain information from the host's network, and check whether the host uses OpenZFS or UFS as its file system. -Mount the install media as covered in man:mdconfig[8] when using the install ISO: +[TIP] +==== +The FreeBSD version running in the jail can not be newer than the version running in the host. +==== -[source,shell] -.... -# mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f cdimage.iso` /mnt -# cd /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/ -.... +[[host-configuration-jail-utility]] +=== Jail Utility -Extract the binaries from the tarballs on the install media into the declared destination. -Minimally, only the base set needs to be extracted, but a complete install can be performed when preferred. +The man:jail[8] utility manages jails. -To install just the base system: +To start jails when the system boots, run the following commands: [source,shell] .... -# tar -xf base.txz -C $DESTDIR +# sysrc jail_enable="YES" +# sysrc jail_parallel_start="YES" .... -To install everything except the kernel: +[TIP] +==== +With `jail_parallel_start`, all configured jails will be started in the background. +==== -[source,shell] -.... -# for set in base ports;

This is where the jail will physically reside within the file system of the jail's host. A good choice can be [.filename]#/usr/jail/jailname#, where _jailname_ is the hostname identifying the jail. Usually, [.filename]#/usr/# has enough space for the jail file system, which for "complete" jails is, essentially, a replication of every file present in a default installation of the FreeBSD base system. +The netgraph system:: +man:netgraph[4] is a versatile kernel framework for creating custom network configurations. +It can be used to define how network traffic flows between jails and the host system and between different jails. -<.> If you have already rebuilt your userland using `make world` or `make buildworld`, you can skip this step and install your existing userland into the new jail. +[[host-configuration-directories]] +=== Setting Up the Jail Directory Tree -<.> This command will populate the directory subtree chosen as jail's physical location on the file system with the necessary binaries, libraries, manual pages and so on. -<.> The `distribution` target for make installs every needed configuration file. In simple words, it installs every installable file of [.filename]#/usr/src/etc/# to the [.filename]#/etc# directory of the jail environment: [.filename]#$D/etc/#. +There is no specific place to put the files for the jails. -<.> Mounting the man:devfs[8] file system inside a jail is not required. On the other hand, any, or almost any application requires access to at least one device, depending on the purpose of the given application. It is very important to control access to devices from inside a jail, as improper settings could permit an attacker to do nasty things in the jail. Control over man:devfs[8] is managed through rulesets which are described in the man:devfs[8] and man:devfs.conf[5] manual pages. +Some administrators use [.filename]#/jail#, others [.filename]#/usr/jail#, and still others [.filename]#/usr/local/jails#. +In this chapter [.filename]#/usr/local/jails# will be used. -=== Configuring the Host +Apart from [.filename]#/usr/local/jails# other directories will be created: -Once a jail is installed, it can be started by using the man:jail[8] utility. -The man:jail[8] utility takes four mandatory arguments which are described in the <<jails-synopsis>>. -Other arguments may be specified too, e.g., to run the jailed process with the credentials of a specific user. -The `_command_` argument depends on the type of the jail; for a _virtual system_, [.filename]#/etc/rc# is a good choice, since it will replicate the startup sequence of a real FreeBSD system. -For a _service_ jail, it depends on the service or application that will run within the jail. +* [.filename]#media# will contain the compressed files of the downloaded userlands. +* [.filename]#templates# will contain the templates when using Thin Jails. +* [.filename]#containers# will contain the jails. -Jails are often started at boot time and the FreeBSD [.filename]#rc# mechanism provides an easy way to do this. +When using OpenZFS, execute the following commands to create datasets for these directories: -[.procedure] -* Configure jail parameters in [.filename]#jail.conf#: -+ -[.programlisting] +[source,shell] .... -www { - host.hostname = www.example.org;
