SYNOPSIS
int privilege_violation(string op, mixed who, mixed arg, mixed arg2, mixed arg3)
DESCRIPTION
Validate the execution of a privileged operation.
op denotes the requested operation, who is the object
requesting the operation (file_name or object pointer), <arg>
and <arg2> are additional arguments, depending on the operation.
The function should return >0 to grant the privilege, 0 to
indicate that the caller was probably misled and the error
might be fixed, and anything else to indicate a real
violation that will be handled as run time error.
The privileged operations are:
attach_erq_demon : Attach the erq demon to object <arg> with
flag <arg2>.
bind_lambda : Bind a lambda-closure to object <arg>.
call_out_info : Return an array with all call_out
informations.
configure_interactive : Set option <arg2> with value <arg3> as
default (<arg>==0) or for object <arg>.
configure_object : Set option <arg2> with value <arg3> for
object <arg>.
configure_driver : Set option <arg1> to value(s) <arg2>.
enable_telnet : Enable/disable telnet (<arg2>) for object
<arg>.
execute_command : Execute command string <arg2> for the object
<arg>.
erq : At the request <arg2> is to be sent to the
: erq-demon by the object <who>.
garbage_collection : Object <who> calls the efun
garbage_collection() with <arg> as filename
and <arg2> as flag.
input_to : Object <who> redirects the next input from
commandgiver <arg>, using <arg2> as value
for the flags. This is used for flag values
including the 'no bang' option.
limited : Execute <arg> with reduced/changed limits
1<arg2> (as return by query_limits()).
mysql : Object <who> attempted to execute mySQL efun
<arg>.
pgsql : Object <who> attempted to execute Postgres efun
<arg>.
net_connect : Attempt to open a connection to host <arg>,
port <arg2>.
nomask simul_efun : Attempt to get an efun <arg> via efun:: when
it is shadowed by a nomask type simul_efun.
rename_object : The object <who> tries to rename the object
<arg> to the name <arg2>.
send_udp : Send UDP-data to host <arg>.
get_extra_wizinfo : Get the additional wiz-list info for user
<arg>.
set_extra_wizinfo : Set the additional wiz-list info for user
<arg>.
set_extra_wizinfo_size : Set the size of the additional user
info in the wiz-list to <arg>.
set_driver_hook : Set hook <arg> to <arg2>.
set_limits : Set limits to <arg> (as returned by
query_limits()).
set_max_commands : Set the max. number of commands interactive
object <arg> can issue per second to <arg2>.
set_this_object : Set this_object() to <arg>.
shadow_add_action : Add an action to function <arg2> of object
<arg> from the shadow <who> which is shadowing
<arg>.
shutdown : Object <who> calls the efun shutdown with <arg>
as argument.
sqlite_pragma : Execute pragma statement in SQLite.
symbol_variable : Attempt to make a symbol from a hidden
inherited variable. <arg> is the object in
question, <arg2> the number of the variable in
the variable table.
variable_list : An attempt to return the variable values of
object <arg> is made from a different object
<who>.
wizlist_info : Return an array with all wiz-list
information.
call_out_info() can return the arguments to functions and
lambda closures to be called by call_out(); you should
consider that read access to closures, mappings and arrays
means write access and/or other privileges.
wizlist_info() will return an array which holds, among others,
the extra wizlist field. While a toplevel array, if found,
will be copied, this does not apply to nested arrays or to any
mappings. You might also have some sensitive closures there.
send_udp() should be watched as it could be abused.
The xxx_extra_wizinfo operations are necessary for a proper
wizlist and should therefore be restricted to admins.
All other operations are potential sources for direct security
breaches - any use of them should be scrutinized closely.
HISTORY
LDMud 3.2.10 added the "enable_telnet", "net_connect",
"set_max_commands" and "variable_list" violations.
