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 misleaded 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_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 A the request <arg2> is to be send to the erq-demon by the object <who>. 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 <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>. 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. LDMud 3.3.563 added the passing of the limits to the "limited" and "set_limits". LDMud 3.2.11/3.3.640 added the "mysql" violation. LDMud 3.3.717 added the "sqlite_pragma" violation.
