I am trying to figure out which set of changes were necessary vs just nice to have, to inform that part of the conversation that is asking is there a way we can avoid breaking userspace for this security fix. > I had to: > 1. Disable the read-only mount of /proc/sys which is anyway useless in > the user-namespace case. It is likely worth addressing the libvirt-lxc MS_REMOUNT code as it does not preserve any mount flags, or even have the capability to try. if (bindOverReadonly && mount(mnt_src, mnt->dst, NULL, MS_BIND|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RDONLY, NULL) < 0) { virReportSystemError(errno, _("Failed to re-mount %s on %s flags=%x"), mnt_src, mnt->dst, MS_BIND|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RDONLY); goto cleanup; } Aka the flags during remount are hard coded (which is buggy). So I believe even without the use of user-namespaces this code does the wrong thing. Likely statvfs needs to be called to get the existing mount flags and those should be applied during remount or possibly just the mount flags from the virLXCBasicMountInfo entry should be added. > 2. Disable the /proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6} bind mounts, this ugly hack is only needed for the non user-namespace case. *Scratches my head* Why was this necessary? Those are just plain bind mounts which do not need any remount-magic so they should have just worked and preserved the existing mount flags. I agree they are unnecessary in this context but I don't expect they would have cause problems or were "wrong". > 3. Remove MS_RDONLY from the sysfs mount (For the non user-namespace case we'd have to keep this, though). Ok. I can see this as being necessary as well, and missed in the first pass because the code did not get this far. The code flow for sysfs appears to trigger the bindOverReadOnly code as MS_RDONLY is set. Then the remount clears the other mount flags on sysfs. Which previously we would have not enforced as sysfs with a network namespace is a fresh mount (and that is the bug my patchset fixes). This does very much look like a bug in libvirt-lxc clearing flags it did not intend to. > Daniel, I'd take this as a chance to disable all the MS_RDONLY games if user-namespace are configured. > With Eric's fixes they hurt us.
