* [PATCH] user-namespaced file capabilities - now with even more magic

Root in a user ns cannot be trusted to write a traditional
security.capability xattr.  If it were allowed to do so, then any
unprivileged user on the host could map his own uid to root in a
namespace, write the xattr, and execute the file with privilege on the
host.

This patch introduces v3 of the security.capability xattr.  It builds a
vfs_ns_cap_data struct by appending a uid_t rootid to struct
vfs_cap_data.  This is the absolute uid_t (i.e. the uid_t in
init_user_ns) of the root id (uid 0 in a namespace) in whose namespaces
the file capabilities may take effect.

When a task in a user ns (which is privileged with CAP_SETFCAP toward
that user_ns) asks to write v2 security.capability, the kernel will
transparently rewrite the xattr as a v3 with the appropriate rootid.
Subsequently, any task executing the file which has the noted kuid as
its root uid, or which is in a descendent user_ns of such a user_ns,
will run the file with capabilities.

If a task writes a v3 security.capability, then it can provide a
uid (valid within its own user namespace, over which it has CAP_SETFCAP)
for the xattr.  The kernel will translate that to the absolute uid, and
write that to disk.  After this, a task in the writer's namespace will
not be able to use those capabilities, but a task in a namespace where
the given uid is root will.

Only a single security.capability xattr may be written.  A task may
overwrite the existing one so long as it was written by a user mapped
into his own user_ns over which he has CAP_SETFCAP.

This allows a simple setxattr to work, allows tar/untar to work, and
allows us to tar in one namespace and untar in another while preserving
the capability, without risking leaking privilege into a parent
namespace.

I suspect this is working fairly well so I am just going to go through
and pick nits today.

After -rc1 one comes out this will need another pass anyway.

Referring specifically to

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-yakkety.git/commit/security/commoncap.c?id=e1804ed91602bc8ead616c9616de70096b139fa7

I just need to think about what precisely we want the rule to be here.

It's possible we just drop Seth's patch, as mine already allows writing
capabilities (though not v2) when not in init_user_ns, so his patch isn't
needed.

Seth's patch makes it possible to write v2 capabilitie (which are not
namespaced) to a file in non-init user-ns if the userns mounted the fs.

Mine does not allow that, ever, but will silently write a v3 capability.

Seth's patch never allows writing a file capability unlesss the whole
block device was mountd by the caller's user-ns.  Mine allows writing
v3 capabilities to such files.

So yeah, maybe mine simiply obviates the need for Seths' patch.

Hmm.

While there is an obvious conflict the two patches are doing different
things.

s_user_ns is the owning user namespace of the filesystem.  And as such
it is fine to write the old capability in that context.

You are making it possible to write the capability in child user
namespaces, and I presume not allowing stomping a capability set by
a more privileged user.

Unless you update your code to decide to write a v2 capability if rootid
is zero and v3 otherwise the code will still have interesting
entanglement issues.  Even then the code needs to look at s_user_ns to
see what rootid should be.

Earlier today I pushed a for-testing branch to my user-namespace.git
tree and that has the start of the s_user_ns stuff that I am pretty much
ready to merge at this point.  I still need to rebase onto 4.7-rc1 and
retest before I get farther.  But I am serious about getting this stuff
reviewed and merged into my tree and into Linus' tree next merge window.

It is way past time.

Eric

Ok, right, so I should simply allow that in my patchset.  (Though it still
makes me nervous.)

To make that elegant the flow will need to change a bit, so easiest will
be to indeed wait for the s_user_ns patchset.
