2021-04-21capabilities: require CAP_SETFCAP to map uid 0Serge E. Hallyn1-3/+62
cap_setfcap is required to create file capabilities. Since commit 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities"), a process running as uid 0 but without cap_setfcap is able to work around this as follows: unshare a new user namespace which maps parent uid 0 into the child namespace. While this task will not have new capabilities against the parent namespace, there is a loophole due to the way namespaced file capabilities are represented as xattrs. File capabilities valid in userns 1 are distinguished from file capabilities valid in userns 2 by the kuid which underlies uid 0. Therefore the restricted root process can unshare a new self-mapping namespace, add a namespaced file capability onto a file, then use that file capability in the parent namespace. To prevent that, do not allow mapping parent uid 0 if the process which opened the uid_map file does not have CAP_SETFCAP, which is the capability for setting file capabilities. As a further wrinkle: a task can unshare its user namespace, then open its uid_map file itself, and map (only) its own uid. In this case we do not have the credential from before unshare, which was potentially more restricted. So, when creating a user namespace, we record whether the creator had CAP_SETFCAP. Then we can use that during map_write(). With this patch: 1. Unprivileged user can still unshare -Ur ubuntu@caps:~$ unshare -Ur root@caps:~# logout 2. Root user can still unshare -Ur ubuntu@caps:~$ sudo bash root@caps:/home/ubuntu# unshare -Ur root@caps:/home/ubuntu# logout 3. Root user without CAP_SETFCAP cannot unshare -Ur: root@caps:/home/ubuntu# /sbin/capsh --drop=cap_setfcap -- root@caps:/home/ubuntu# /sbin/setcap cap_setfcap=p /sbin/setcap unable to set CAP_SETFCAP effective capability: Operation not permitted root@caps:/home/ubuntu# unshare -Ur unshare: write failed /proc/self/uid_map: Operation not permitted Note: an alternative solution would be to allow uid 0 mappings by processes without CAP_SETFCAP, but to prevent such a namespace from writing any file capabilities. This approach can be seen at [1]. Background history: commit 95ebabde382 ("capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities") tried to fix the issue by preventing v3 fscaps to be written to disk when the root uid would map to the same uid in nested user namespaces. This led to regressions for various workloads. For example, see [2]. Ultimately this is a valid use-case we have to support meaning we had to revert this change in 3b0c2d3eaa83 ("Revert 95ebabde382c ("capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities")").

2020-08-19user: Use generic ns_common::countKirill Tkhai1-2/+2
Switch over user namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime counter. Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and these are not altered. This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them. It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces. Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace struct out of struct ns_common. Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

2020-05-09nsproxy: add struct nssetChristian Brauner1-4/+4
Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons. First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed. The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this should have functional consequences. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Cc: Eric W.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells: "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware. Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier: - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it easier to add more bits into the key. - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of multiplications). - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively. Then the main patches: - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not accessible cross-user_namespace. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this. - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_* flags will only pick from the current user_namespace). - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of multiple keys with the same description, but different target domains to be held in the same keyring. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this. - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected. - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned the network domain in force when they are created. - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock. This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the appropriate network namespace down into dns_query(). For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not.

2019-06-26keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespaceDavid Howells1-3/+1
Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace struct rather than pinning them from the user_struct struct. This prevents these keyrings from propagating across user-namespaces boundaries with regard to the KEY_SPEC_* flags, thereby making them more useful in a containerised environment. The issue is that a single user_struct may be represent UIDs in several different namespaces. The way the patch does this is by attaching a 'register keyring' in each user_namespace and then sticking the user and user-session keyrings into that. It can then be searched to retrieve them.

2019-06-26keys: Namespace keyring namesDavid Howells1-3/+4
Keyring names are held in a single global list that any process can pick from by means of keyctl_join_session_keyring (provided the keyring grants Search permission). This isn't very container friendly, however. Make the following changes: (1) Make default session, process and thread keyring names begin with a '.' instead of '_'. (2) Keyrings whose names begin with a '.' aren't added to the list. Such keyrings are system specials. (3) Replace the global list with per-user_namespace lists. A keyring adds its name to the list for the user_namespace that it is currently in. (4) When a user_namespace is deleted, it just removes itself from the keyring name list. The global keyring_name_lock is retained for accessing the name lists. This allows (4) to work. This can be tested by: # keyctl newring foo @s 995906392 # unshare -U $ keyctl show ... 995906392 --alswrv 65534 65534 \_ keyring: foo ... $ keyctl session foo Joined session keyring: 935622349 As can be seen, a new session keyring was created.

2018-11-08userns: also map extents in the reverse map to kernel IDsJann Horn1-4/+8
The current logic first clones the extent array and sorts both copies, then maps the lower IDs of the forward mapping into the lower namespace, but doesn't map the lower IDs of the reverse mapping. This means that code in a nested user namespace with >5 extents will see incorrect IDs. It also breaks some access checks, like inode_owner_or_capable() and privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid(), so a process can incorrectly appear to be capable relative to an inode. To fix it, we have to make sure that the "lower_first" members of extents in both arrays are translated; and we have to make sure that the reverse map is sorted *after* the translation (since otherwise the translation can break the sorting).

2018-06-13treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()Kees Cook1-2/+3
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc().

2018-03-20fuse: Restrict allow_other to the superblock's namespace or a descendantSeth Forshee1-0/+1
Unprivileged users are normally restricted from mounting with the allow_other option by system policy, but this could be bypassed for a mount done with user namespace root permissions. In such cases allow_other should not allow users outside the userns to access the mount as doing so would give the unprivileged user the ability to manipulate processes it would otherwise be unable to manipulate. Restrict allow_other to apply to users in the same userns used at mount or a descendant of that namespace. Also export current_in_userns() for use by fuse when built as a module.

Consider a user requesting us to map everything but 999, and 1001 for a given range of 1000000000 with a sub{g,u}id layout of: some-user:100000:1000000000 some-user:999:1 some-user:1000:1 some-user:1001:1 some-user:1002:1 This translates to: MAPPING-TYPE | CONTAINER | HOST | RANGE | -------------|-----------|---------|-----------| uid | 999 | 999 | 1 | uid | 1001 | 1001 | 1 | uid | 0 | 1000000 | 999 | uid | 1000 | 1001000 | 1 | uid | 1002 | 1001002 | 999998998 | ------------------------------------------------ gid | 999 | 999 | 1 | gid | 1001 | 1001 | 1 | gid | 0 | 1000000 | 999 | gid | 1000 | 1001000 | 1 | gid | 1002 | 1001002 | 999998998 | which is already the current limit. As discussed at LPC simply bumping the number of limits is not going to work since this would mean that struct uid_gid_map won't fit into a single cache-line anymore thereby regressing performance for the base-cases. The same problem seems to arise when using a single pointer. So the idea is to use struct uid_gid_extent { u32 first; u32 lower_first; u32 count; }; struct uid_gid_map { /* 64 bytes -- 1 cache line */ u32 nr_extents; union { struct uid_gid_extent extent[UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS]; struct { struct uid_gid_extent *forward; struct uid_gid_extent *reverse; }; }; }; For the base cases we will only use the struct uid_gid_extent extent member. If we go over UID_GID_MAP_MAX_BASE_EXTENTS mappings we perform a single 4k kmalloc() which means we can have a maximum of 340 mappings (340 * size(struct uid_gid_extent) = 4080). For the latter case we use two pointers "forward" and "reverse". The forward pointer points to an array sorted by "first" and the reverse pointer points to an array sorted by "lower_first". We can then perform binary search on those arrays. Performance Testing: When Eric introduced the extent-based struct uid_gid_map approach he measured the performanc impact of his idmap changes: > My benchmark consisted of going to single user mode where nothing else was > running. On an ext4 filesystem opening 1,000,000 files and looping through all > of the files 1000 times and calling fstat on the individuals files. This was > to ensure I was benchmarking stat times where the inodes were in the kernels > cache, but the inode values were not in the processors cache. My results: > v3.4-rc1: ~= 156ns (unmodified v3.4-rc1 with user namespace support disabled) > v3.4-rc1-userns-: ~= 155ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support disabled) > v3.4-rc1-userns+: ~= 164ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support enabled) I used an identical approach on my laptop. Here's a thorough description of what I did. I built a 4.14.0-rc4 mainline kernel with my new idmap patches applied. I booted into single user mode and used an ext4 filesystem to open/create 1,000,000 files. Then I looped through all of the files calling fstat() on each of them 1000 times and calculated the mean fstat() time for a single file. (The test program can be found below.) Here are the results. For fun, I compared the first version of my patch which scaled linearly with the new version of the patch: | # MAPPINGS | PATCH-V1 | PATCH-NEW | |--------------|------------|-----------| | 0 mappings | 158 ns | 158 ns | | 1 mappings | 164 ns | 157 ns | | 2 mappings | 170 ns | 158 ns | | 3 mappings | 175 ns | 161 ns | | 5 mappings | 187 ns | 165 ns | | 10 mappings | 218 ns | 199 ns | | 50 mappings | 528 ns | 218 ns | | 100 mappings | 980 ns | 229 ns | | 200 mappings | 1880 ns | 239 ns | | 300 mappings | 2760 ns | 240 ns | | 340 mappings | not tested | 248 ns | Here's the test program I used.

to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-07-20userns,pidns: Verify the userns for new pid namespacesEric W. Biederman1-8/+12
It is pointless and confusing to allow a pid namespace hierarchy and the user namespace hierarchy to get out of sync. The owner of a child pid namespace should be the owner of the parent pid namespace or a descendant of the owner of the parent pid namespace. Otherwise it is possible to construct scenarios where a process has a capability over a parent pid namespace but does not have the capability over a child pid namespace. Which confusingly makes permission checks non-transitive. It requires use of setns into a pid namespace (but not into a user namespace) to create such a scenario. Add the function in_userns to help in making this determination. v2: Optimized in_userns by using level as suggested by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Ref: 49f4d8b93ccf ("pidns: Capture the user namespace and filter ns_last_pid") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2016-09-23Merge branch 'nsfs-ioctls' into HEADEric W. Biederman1-0/+25
From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way to discover these relationships. Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover parent-child relationships too. Why we may want to know relationships between namespaces? One use would be visualization, in order to understand the running system. Another would be to answer the question: what capability does process X have to perform operations on a resource governed by namespace Y? One more use-case (which usually called abnormal) is checkpoint/restart. In CRIU we are going to dump and restore nested namespaces. There [1] was a discussion about which interface to choose to determing relationships between namespaces. Eric suggested to add two ioctl-s [2]: > Grumble, Grumble. I think this may actually a case for creating ioctls > for these two cases. Now that random nsfs file descriptors are bind > mountable the original reason for using proc files is not as pressing. > > One ioctl for the user namespace that owns a file descriptor. > One ioctl for the parent namespace of a namespace file descriptor. Here is an implementaions of these ioctl-s. $ man man7/namespaces.7 ... Since Linux 4.X, the following ioctl(2) calls are supported for namespace file descriptors. The correct syntax is: fd = ioctl(ns_fd, ioctl_type); where ioctl_type is one of the following: NS_GET_USERNS Returns a file descriptor that refers to an owning user names‐ pace. NS_GET_PARENT Returns a file descriptor that refers to a parent namespace. This ioctl(2) can be used for pid and user namespaces. For user namespaces, NS_GET_PARENT and NS_GET_USERNS have the same meaning. In addition to generic ioctl(2) errors, the following specific ones can occur: EINVAL NS_GET_PARENT was called for a nonhierarchical namespace. EPERM The requested namespace is outside of the current namespace scope.

2015-09-05capabilities: ambient capabilitiesAndy Lutomirski1-0/+1
Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn. This patch is heavily based on Christoph's patch. ===== The status quo ===== On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel. To perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that they hold. Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP), inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X). When the kernel checks for a capability, it checks pE. The other capability masks serve to modify what capabilities can be in pE. Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time. If a task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI. If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it can remove capabilities from X. Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also have capabilities. A file can have no capabilty information at all [1]. If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP) and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2]. File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them. A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e. the binary itself if that binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old value and pZ' represents the new value. The rules are: pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0) X is unchanged For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior. Similarly, if euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently (primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set). For nonroot users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP are empty and fE is false. As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set, LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc. This is rather messy. We've learned that making any changes is dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged program to change its security state in a way that persists cross execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped programs to be exploited for privilege escalation. ===== The problem ===== Capability inheritance is basically useless. If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'. This means that you can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated capabilities if you aren't root. On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files. This causes pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works. No one does this because it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems. If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with secure exec rules, breaking many things. This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use capabilities for anything useful. ===== The proposed change ===== This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA). pA does what most people expect pI to do. pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not set in both pP and pI. Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from pA. This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities still do so, with a complication. Because capability inheritance is so broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and then calling execve effectively drops capabilities. Therefore, setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set. Processes that don't like this can re-add bits to pA afterwards. The capability evolution rules are changed: pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA) pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA' pI' = pI pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA') X is unchanged If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA. If you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE. For example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can automatically bind low-numbered ports. Hallelujah! Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace) and unprivileged process trees. This is currently more or less impossible. Hallelujah! You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch. Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that capability. If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping privileges will still work. It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could possibly be reduced without causing serious problems. Specifically, if we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker *already* has those capabilities. This would make me nervous, though -- setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so, and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have unexpected side effects. (Whether these unexpected side effects would be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more paranoid route. We can revisit this later. An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting ambient capabilities. I think that this would be annoying and would make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities (CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than it is with this patch. ===== Footnotes ===== [1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false. The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason. [2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong. fE is *not* a mask; it's a single bit. This has probably confused every single person who has tried to use file capabilities. [3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter if applicable, for reasons that elude me. The results from thinking about a script's file capabilities and/or setuid bits are mostly discarded.

2015-08-12userns,pidns: Force thread group sharing, not signal handler sharing.Eric W. Biederman1-2/+2
The code that places signals in signal queues computes the uids, gids, and pids at the time the signals are enqueued. Which means that tasks that share signal queues must be in the same pid and user namespaces. Sharing signal handlers is fine, but bizarre. So make the code in fork and userns_install clearer by only testing for what is functionally necessary. Also update the comment in unshare about unsharing a user namespace to be a little more explicit and make a little more sense. Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman: "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for backporting to stable. The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it easy to detect if this issue reoccurs. Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes. Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes privileges. The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been set to permanently disable setgroups. The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c). To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes. > So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-) > Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9. > Tested-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> > Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine. > Tested-by: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@cn.fujitsu.com> > Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels. > Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using > my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid > as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches. > Tested-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com> > I tested this with Sandstorm.

2014-12-12userns: Allow setting gid_maps without privilege when setgroups is disabledEric W. Biederman1-0/+5
Now that setgroups can be disabled and not reenabled, setting gid_map without privielge can now be enabled when setgroups is disabled. This restores most of the functionality that was lost when unprivileged setting of gid_map was removed. Applications that use this functionality will need to check to see if they use setgroups or init_groups, and if they don't they can be fixed by simply disabling setgroups before writing to gid_map.

2014-12-12userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basisEric W. Biederman1-0/+85
- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-12-10userns: Only allow the creator of the userns unprivileged mappingsEric W. Biederman1-2/+4
If you did not create the user namespace and are allowed to write to uid_map or gid_map you should already have the necessary privilege in the parent user namespace to establish any mapping you want so this will not affect userspace in practice. Limiting unprivileged uid mapping establishment to the creator of the user namespace makes it easier to verify all credentials obtained with the uid mapping can be obtained without the uid mapping without privilege. Limiting unprivileged gid mapping establishment (which is temporarily absent) to the creator of the user namespace also ensures that the combination of uid and gid can already be obtained without privilege.

2014-12-10userns: Check euid no fsuid when establishing an unprivileged uid mappingEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
setresuid allows the euid to be set to any of uid, euid, suid, and fsuid. Therefor it is safe to allow an unprivileged user to map their euid and use CAP_SETUID privileged with exactly that uid, as no new credentials can be obtained. I can not find a combination of existing system calls that allows setting uid, euid, suid, and fsuid from the fsuid making the previous use of fsuid for allowing unprivileged mappings a bug.

2014-12-10userns: Don't allow unprivileged creation of gid mappingsEric W. Biederman1-4/+0
As any gid mapping will allow and must allow for backwards compatibility dropping groups don't allow any gid mappings to be established without CAP_SETGID in the parent user namespace. For a small class of applications this change breaks userspace and removes useful functionality. This small class of applications includes tools/testing/selftests/mount/unprivilged-remount-test.c Most of the removed functionality will be added back with the addition of a one way knob to disable setgroups. Once setgroups is disabled setting the gid_map becomes as safe as setting the uid_map. For more common applications that set the uid_map and the gid_map with privilege this change will have no affect. This is part of a fix for CVE-2014-8989.

2014-12-10userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablishedEric W. Biederman1-0/+14
setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces.

2014-12-06userns: Document what the invariant required for safe unprivileged mappings.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+3
The rule is simple. Don't allow anything that wouldn't be allowed without unprivileged mappings. It was previously overlooked that establishing gid mappings would allow dropping groups and potentially gaining permission to files and directories that had lesser permissions for a specific group than for all other users. This is the rule needed to fix CVE-2014-8989 and prevent any other security issues with new_idmap_permitted. The reason for this rule is that the unix permission model is old and there are programs out there somewhere that take advantage of every little corner of it. So allowing a uid or gid mapping to be established without privielge that would allow anything that would not be allowed without that mapping will result in expectations from some code somewhere being violated. Violated expectations about the behavior of the OS is a long way to say a security issue. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
