Package Information
| Description | utility to run a program inside a sandbox Minijail is a sandboxing and containment tool used in ChromeOS and Android. It launches a program with a restricted view of the system: it can enter new namespaces (mount, PID, network, user, IPC), pivot_root into a chosen filesystem, drop capabilities and switch user, and apply a seccomp-bpf filter that limits the program to a declared set of system calls. Minijail is intended for sandboxing known binaries, to reduce the damage a compromised service can do. It is not designed to safely run malicious code. This package contains the minijail0 command line tool. |
