Merge branch 'for-linus' of 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.
