Capsicum is still work in progress and worked on. Since FreeBSD 9, it has undergone a lot of internal design changes (capabilities are now embedded in the filedescriptors instead of being standalone structures), and API changes. Yet another API change is undergoing to make the code more future proof (currently, you can have only 64 different capability rights, which is not enough), but it's happening out of tree. There are also new libraries to ease applications developpement. Capsicum is not yet in a real production state. It's a big project and it needs a lot of thoughs to get it right. I don't know if it will get in FreeBSD 10, I'm not a freeBSD guy, but you can be sure there are still a lot of work dedicated to capsicum ! After the basic kernel API and libs has been stabilized, it will still need work to convert applications to capsicum before you can consider capsicum as a deployed security mechanism in FreeBSD. |
