Hmmm, from <https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/posix_spawn.3.html https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/posix_spawn.3.html>:
The posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() functions provide the
functionality of a combined fork(2) and exec(3), with some
optional housekeeping steps in the child process before the
exec(3). These functions are not meant to replace the fork(2)
and execve(2) system calls. In fact, they provide only a subset
of the functionality that can be achieved by using the system
calls.
Also, there's no way to set resource limits in the child process, nor switch user or group ID, using posix_spawn().
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoFor that you may need posix_spawn and exec, but still can evade fork completely.
