systemd-analyze: 'security' option to perform offline reviews of the specified unit file(s)
New option --offline which works with the 'security' command and takes in a boolean value. When set to true,
it performs an offline security review of the specified unit file(s). It does not rely on PID 1 to acquire
security information for the files like 'security' when used by itself does. It makes use of the refactored
security_info struct instead (commit #8cd669d3d3cf1b5e8667acc46ba290a9e8a8e529). This means that --offline can be
used with --image and --root as well. When used with --threshold, if a unit's overall exposure level is above
that set by the user, the default value being 100, --offline returns a non-zero exit status.
Example Run:
1. testcase.service is a unit file created for testing the --offline option
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (systemd-security)$ cat<<EOF>testcase.service
> [Service]
> ExecStart = echo hello
> EOF
For the purposes of this demo, the security table outputted below has been cut to show only the first two security settings.
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (systemd-security)$ sudo build/systemd-analyze security --offline=true testcase.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's
process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control-group'.
Support for KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed.
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service:30: Standard output type syslog is obsolete, automatically updating to journal. Please update your
unit file, and consider removing the setting altogether.
/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.socket:5: ListenStream= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket → /run/dbus/system_bus_socket; please update the unit file accordingly.
NAME DESCRIPTION EXPOSURE
✗ PrivateNetwork= Service has access to the host's network 0.5
✗ User=/DynamicUser= Service runs as root user 0.4
→ Overall exposure level for testcase.service: 9.6 UNSAFE 😨
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (systemd-security)$ echo $? 0
2. The testcase.service unit file is modified to set PrivateNetwork to "yes". This reduces the exposure level from 9.6 to 9.1.
maanya-goenka@debian:~/systemd (systemd-security)$ nano testcase.service
> [Service]
> ExecStart = echo hello
> PrivateNetwork = yes
> EOF

3. Next, we use the same testcase.service unit file but add the additional --threshold=60 option to see how --threshold works with
--offline. Since the overall exposure level is 91 which is greater than the threshold value set by the user (= 60), we can expect
a non-zero exit status.
