I find it counterintuitive that you can get an fd without privileges via one interface but not via another. > different situations: When you use seccomp(), infrastructure is Sure. Note, that this is _one_ of the reasons why I want to make sure we keep the native seccomp() only based way of getting an fd without forcing userspace to switching to a differnet kernel api. > already in place for ensuring that your filter is only applied to > processes over which you are capable, and propagation is limited by > inheritance from your task down.

So, don't get me wrong I'm not arguing against the ptrace() interface in general. If this is something that people find useful, fine. But, I would like to have a simple single-syscall pure-seccomp() based way of getting an fd, i.e. what we have in patch 1 of this series. > > But thinking about it more, I think that CAP_SYS_ADMIN over the saved > current->mm->user_ns of the task that installed the filter (stored as > a "struct user_namespace *" in the filter) should be acceptable. Hm... Why not CAP_SYS_PTRACE? One more thing. Citing from [1] > I think there's a security problem here. Imagine the following scenario: > > 1. task A (uid==0) sets up a seccomp filter that uses SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF > 2. task A forks off a child B > 3. task B uses setuid(1) to drop its privileges > 4. task B becomes dumpable again, either via prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1) > or via execve() > 5. task C (the attacker, uid==1) attaches to task B via ptrace > 6. task C uses PTRACE_SECCOMP_NEW_LISTENER on task B Sorry, to be late to the party but would this really pass __ptrace_may_access() in ptrace_attach()? It doesn't seem obvious to me that it would... Doesn't look like it would get past: tcred = __task_cred(task); if (uid_eq(caller_uid, tcred->euid) && uid_eq(caller_uid, tcred->suid) && uid_eq(caller_uid, tcred->uid) && gid_eq(caller_gid, tcred->egid) && gid_eq(caller_gid, tcred->sgid) && gid_eq(caller_gid, tcred->gid)) goto ok; if (ptrace_has_cap(tcred->user_ns, mode)) goto ok; rcu_read_unlock(); return -EPERM; ok: rcu_read_unlock(); mm = task->mm; if (mm && ((get_dumpable(mm) != SUID_DUMP_USER) && !ptrace_has_cap(mm->user_ns, mode))) return -EPERM; > 7. because the seccomp filter is shared by task A and task B, task C > is now able to influence syscall results for syscalls performed by > task A [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAG48ez3R+ZJ1vwGkDfGzKX2mz6f=jjJWsO5pCvnH68P+RKO8Ow@mail.gmail.com/
