.SH NAME
SecurityPolicy \- X Window System SECURITY Extension Policy file format
.SH DESCRIPTION
The SECURITY extension to the X Window System uses a policy file to determine
which operations should be allowed or denied. The default location for this
file is
.IR __projectroot__/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy .
.PP
The syntax of the security policy file is as follows.
Notation: "*" means zero or more occurrences of the preceding element,
and "+" means one or more occurrences. To interpret <foo/bar>, ignore
the text after the /; it is used to distinguish between instances of
<foo> in the next section.
.PP
.nf
<policy file> ::= <version line> <other line>*
<version line> ::= <string/v> '\en'
<other line > ::= <comment> | <access rule> | <site policy> | <blank line>
<comment> ::= # <not newline>* '\en'
<blank line> ::= <space> '\en'
<site policy> ::= sitepolicy <string/sp> '\en'
<access rule> ::= property <property/ar> <window> <perms> '\en'
<property> ::= <string>
<window> ::= any | root | <required property>
<required property> ::= <property/rp> | <property with value>
<property with value> ::= <property/rpv> = <string/rv>
<perms> ::= [ <operation> | <action> | <space> ]*
<operation> ::= r | w | d
<action> ::= a | i | e
<string> ::= <dbl quoted string> | <single quoted string> | <unquoted string>
<dbl quoted string> ::= <space> " <not dquote>* " <space>
<single quoted string> ::= <space> ' <not squote>* ' <space>
<unquoted string> ::= <space> <not space>+ <space>
<space> ::= [ ' ' | '\et' ]*
Character sets:
<not newline> ::= any character except '\en'
<not dquote> ::= any character except "
<not squote> ::= any character except '
<not space> ::= any character except those in <space>
.fi
.PP
The semantics associated with the above syntax are as follows.
.PP
<version line>, the first line in the file, specifies the file format
version. If the server does not recognize the version <string/v>, it
ignores the rest of the file. The version string for the file format
described here is "version-1" .
.PP
Once past the <version line>, lines that do not match the above syntax
are ignored.
.PP
<comment> lines are ignored.
.PP
<sitepolicy> lines are currently ignored. They are intended to
specify the site policies used by the XC-QUERY-SECURITY-1
authorization method.
.PP
<access rule> lines specify how the server should react to untrusted
client requests that affect the X Window property named <property/ar>.
The rest of this section describes the interpretation of an
<access rule>.
.PP
For an <access rule> to apply to a given instance of <property/ar>,
<property/ar> must be on a window that is in the set of windows
specified by <window>. If <window> is any, the rule applies to
<property/ar> on any window. If <window> is root, the rule applies to
<property/ar> only on root windows.
.PP
If <window> is <required property>, the following apply. If <required
property> is a <property/rp>, the rule applies when the window also
has that <property/rp>, regardless of its value. If <required
property> is a <property with value>, <property/rpv> must also have
the value specified by <string/rv>. In this case, the property must
have type STRING and format 8, and should contain one or more
null-terminated strings. If any of the strings match <string/rv>, the
rule applies.
.PP
The definition of string matching is simple case-sensitive string
comparison with one elaboration: the occurrence of the character '*' in
<string/rv> is a wildcard meaning "any string." A <string/rv> can
contain multiple wildcards anywhere in the string. For example, "x*"
matches strings that begin with x, "*x" matches strings that end with
x, "*x*" matches strings containing x, and "x*y*" matches strings that
start with x and subsequently contain y.
.PP
There may be multiple <access rule> lines for a given <property/ar>.
The rules are tested in the order that they appear in the file. The
first rule that applies is used.
.PP
<perms> specify operations that untrusted clients may attempt, and
the actions that the server should take in response to those operations.
.PP
<operation> can be r (read), w (write), or d (delete). The following
table shows how X Protocol property requests map to these operations
in the X.Org server implementation.
.PP
.nf
GetProperty r, or r and d if delete = True
ChangeProperty w
RotateProperties r and w
DeleteProperty d
ListProperties none, untrusted clients can always list all properties
.fi
.PP
<action> can be a (allow), i (ignore), or e (error). Allow means
execute the request as if it had been issued by a trusted client.
Ignore means treat the request as a no-op. In the case of
GetProperty, ignore means return an empty property value if the
property exists, regardless of its actual value. Error means do not
execute the request and return a BadAtom error with the atom set to
the property name. Error is the default action for all properties,
including those not listed in the security policy file.
.PP
An <action> applies to all <operation>s that follow it, until the next
<action> is encountered. Thus, irwad means ignore read and write,
allow delete.
.PP
GetProperty and RotateProperties may do multiple operations (r and d,
or r and w). If different actions apply to the operations, the most
severe action is applied to the whole request; there is no partial
request execution. The severity ordering is: allow < ignore < error.
Thus, if the <perms> for a property are ired (ignore read, error
delete), and an untrusted client attempts GetProperty on that property
with delete = True, an error is returned, but the property value is
not. Similarly, if any of the properties in a RotateProperties do not
allow both read and write, an error is returned without changing any
property values.
.PP
Here is an example security policy file.
