|

|
|
+| Syscall | Description |
|
|
|
+|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|
+| `acct` | Accounting syscall which could let containers disable their own resource limits or process accounting. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_PACCT`. |
|
|
|
+| `add_key` | Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced. |
|
|
|
+| `adjtimex` | Similar to `clock_settime` and `settimeofday`, time/date is not namespaced. |
|
|
|
+| `bpf` | Deny loading potentially persistent bpf programs into kernel, already gated by `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. |
|
|
|
+| `clock_adjtime` | Time/date is not namespaced. |
|
|
|
+| `clock_settime` | Time/date is not namespaced. |
|
|
|
+| `clone` | Deny cloning new namespaces. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` for CLONE_* flags, except `CLONE_USERNS`. |
|
|
|
+| `create_module` | Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. |
|
|
|
+| `delete_module` | Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_MODULE`. |
|
|
|
+| `finit_module` | Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_MODULE`. |
|
|
|
+| `get_kernel_syms` | Deny retrieval of exported kernel and module symbols. |
|
|
|
+| `get_mempolicy` | Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. Already gated by `CAP_SYS_NICE`. |
|
|
|
+| `init_module` | Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_MODULE`. |
|
|
|
+| `ioperm` | Prevent containers from modifying kernel I/O privilege levels. Already gated by `CAP_SYS_RAWIO`. |
|
|
|
+| `iopl` | Prevent containers from modifying kernel I/O privilege levels. Already gated by `CAP_SYS_RAWIO`. |
|
|
|
+| `kcmp` | Restrict process inspection capabilities, already blocked by dropping `CAP_PTRACE`. |
|
|
|
+| `kexec_file_load` | Sister syscall of `kexec_load` that does the same thing, slightly different arguments. |
|
|
|
+| `kexec_load` | Deny loading a new kernel for later execution. |
|
|
|
+| `keyctl` | Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced. |
|
|
|
+| `lookup_dcookie` | Tracing/profiling syscall, which could leak a lot of information on the host. |
|
|
|
+| `mbind` | Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. Already gated by `CAP_SYS_NICE`. |
|
|
|
+| `modify_ldt` | Old syscall only used in 16-bit code and a potential information leak. |
|
|
|
+| `mount` | Deny mounting, already gated by `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. |
|
|
|
+| `move_pages` | Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. |

|
+| `open_by_handle_at` | Cause of an old container breakout. Also gated by `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`. |
|
|
|
+| `perf_event_open` | Tracing/profiling syscall, which could leak a lot of information on the host. |

|
|
+| `personality` | Prevent container from enabling BSD emulation. Not inherently dangerous, but poorly tested, potential for a lot of kernel vulns. |
|
|
|
+| `pivot_root` | Deny `pivot_root`, should be privileged operation. |
