Firejail is a SUID sandbox program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting
the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces, seccomp-bpf
and Linux capabilities. It allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private
view of the globally shared kernel resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table.
Firejail can work in a SELinux or AppArmor environment, and it is integrated with Linux Control Groups.
Written in C with virtually no dependencies, the software runs on any Linux computer with a 3.x kernel
version or newer. It can sandbox any type of processes: servers, graphical applications, and even
user login sessions. The software includes sandbox profiles for a number of more common Linux programs,
such as Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, VLC, Transmission etc.
The sandbox is lightweight, the overhead is low. There are no complicated configuration files to edit,
no socket connections open, no daemons running in the background. All security features are
implemented directly in Linux kernel and available on any Linux computer.

## Security vulnerabilities
We take security bugs very seriously. If you believe you have found one, please report it by emailing us at netblue30@protonmail.com
`````
Security Advisory - Feb 8, 2021
Summary: A vulnerability resulting in root privilege escalation was discovered in
Firejail's OverlayFS code,
Versions affected: Firejail software versions starting with 0.9.30.
Long Term Support (LTS) Firejail branch is not affected by this bug.
Workaround: Disable overlayfs feature at runtime.
In a text editor open /etc/firejail/firejail.config file, and set "overlayfs" entry to "no".
$ grep overlayfs /etc/firejail/firejail.config
# Enable or disable overlayfs features, default enabled.
overlayfs no
Fix: The bug is fixed in Firejail version 0.9.64.4
GitHub commit: (file configure.ac)
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/commit/97d8a03cad19501f017587cc4e47d8418273834b
Credit: Security researcher Roman Fiedler analyzed the code and discovered the vulnerability.
Functional PoC exploit code was provided to Firejail development team.
A description of the problem is here on Roman's blog:
https://unparalleled.eu/publications/2021/advisory-unpar-2021-0.txt
https://unparalleled.eu/blog/2021/20210208-rigged-race-against-firejail-for-local-root/
`````
## Installing
Try installing Firejail from your system packages first. Firejail is included in Alpine, ALT Linux, Arch, Artix, Chakra, Debian, Deepin, Devuan, Fedora, Gentoo, Manjaro, Mint, NixOS, Parabola, Parrot, PCLinuxOS, ROSA, Solus, Slackware/SlackBuilds, Trisquel, Ubuntu, Void and possibly others.
The firejail 0.9.52-LTS version is deprecated. On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS users are advised to use the [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~deki/+archive/ubuntu/firejail). On Debian buster we recommend to use the [backports](https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/firejail) package.
You can also install one of the [released packages](http://sourceforge.net/projects/firejail/files/firejail), or clone Firejail’s source code from our Git repository and compile manually:
`````
$ git clone https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git
$ cd firejail
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install-strip
`````
On Debian/Ubuntu you will need to install git and gcc compiler. AppArmor
development libraries and pkg-config are required when using `--apparmor`
./configure option:
`````
$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential libapparmor-dev pkg-config gawk
`````
For `--selinux` option, add libselinux1-dev (libselinux-devel for Fedora).
Detailed information on using firejail from git is available on the [wiki](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/wiki/Using-firejail-from-git).
## Running the sandbox
To start the sandbox, prefix your command with `firejail`:
`````
$ firejail firefox # starting Mozilla Firefox
$ firejail transmission-gtk # starting Transmission BitTorrent
$ firejail vlc # starting VideoLAN Client
$ sudo firejail /etc/init.d/nginx start
`````
Run `firejail --list` in a terminal to list all active sandboxes. Example:
`````
$ firejail --list
1617:netblue:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/firefox-esr
7719:netblue:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/transmission-qt
7779:netblue:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/galculator
7874:netblue:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file file:///home/netblue/firejail-whitelist.mp4
7916:netblue:firejail --list
`````
## Desktop integration
Integrate your sandbox into your desktop by running the following two commands:
`````
$ firecfg --fix-sound
$ sudo firecfg
`````
The first command solves some shared memory/PID namespace bugs in PulseAudio software prior to version 9.
The second command integrates Firejail into your desktop. You would need to logout and login back to apply
PulseAudio changes.
Start your programs the way you are used to: desktop manager menus, file manager, desktop launchers.
The integration applies to any program supported by default by Firejail. There are about 250 default applications
in current Firejail version, and the number goes up with every new release.
We keep the application list in [/usr/lib/firejail/firecfg.config](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/src/firecfg/firecfg.config) file.
## Security profiles
Most Firejail command line options can be passed to the sandbox using profile files.
You can find the profiles for all supported applications in [/etc/firejail](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/master/etc) directory.
If you keep additional Firejail security profiles in a public repository, please give us a link:
* https://github.com/chiraag-nataraj/firejail-profiles
* https://github.com/triceratops1/fe
Use this issue to request new profiles: [#1139](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
You can also use this tool to get a list of syscalls needed by a program: [contrib/syscalls.sh](contrib/syscalls.sh).
We also keep a list of profile fixes for previous released versions in [etc-fixes](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/master/etc-fixes) directory.
## Latest released version: 0.9.66
## Current development version: 0.9.67
Milestone page: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/milestone/1
Release discussion: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3696
Moving from whitelist/blacklist to allow/deny is under way! We are still open to other options, so it might change!
The old whitelist/blacklist will remain as aliasses for the next one or two releases
in order to give users a chance to switch their local profiles.
The latest discussion on this issue is here: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4379
### Intrusion Detection System ###
We are adding IDS capabilities in the next release. We have the list of files in [/etc/firejail/ids.config](https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/etc/ids.config),
and we generate a [BLAKE2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_%28hash_function%29) checksum in /var/lib/firejail/username.ids.
The program runs as regular user, each user has his own file in /var/lib/firejail.
Initialize the database:
`````
$ firejail --ids-init
Loading /etc/firejail/ids.config config file
500 1000 1500 2000
2457 files scanned
IDS database initialized
`````
Later, we check it:
`````
$ firejail --ids-check
Loading /etc/firejail/ids.config config file
500 1000 1500
Warning: modified /home/netblue/.bashrc
2000
2457 files scanned: modified 1, permissions 0, new 0, removed 0
`````
The program will print the files that have been modified since the database was created, or the files with different access permissions.
New files and deleted files are also flagged.
Currently while scanning the file system symbolic links are not followed, and files the user doesn't have read access to are silently dropped.
The program can also be run as root (sudo firejail --ids-init/--ids-check).
### Profile Statistics
A small tool to print profile statistics. Compile as usual and run in /etc/profiles:
```
$ sudo cp src/profstats/profstats /etc/firejail/.
$ cd /etc/firejail
$ ./profstats *.profile
profiles 1150
include local profile 1150 (include profile-name.local)
include globals 1120 (include globals.local)
blacklist ~/.ssh 1026 (include disable-common.inc)
seccomp 1050
capabilities 1146
noexec 1030 (include disable-exec.inc)
noroot 959
memory-deny-write-execute 253
apparmor 681
private-bin 667
private-dev 1009
private-etc 523
private-tmp 883
whitelist home directory 547
whitelist var 818 (include whitelist-var-common.inc)
whitelist run/user 616 (include whitelist-runuser-common.inc
or blacklist ${RUNUSER})
whitelist usr/share 591 (include whitelist-usr-share-common.inc
net none 391
dbus-user none 641
dbus-user filter 105
dbus-system none 792
dbus-system filter 7
```
### New profiles:
clion-eap, lifeograph, io.github.lainsce.Notejot, rednotebook, zim, microsoft-edge-beta, ncdu2, gallery-dl, yt-dlp
