In current system, when we set core_pattern to a pipe, both pipe program and program's output are in host's filesystem. But when we set core_pattern to a file, the container will write dump into container's filesystem. For example, when we set following core_pattern: # echo "|/my_dump_pipe %s %c %p %u %g %t e" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern and trigger a segment fault in a container, my_dump_pipe is searched from host's filesystem, and it will write coredump into host's filesystem too. In a privileged container, user can destroy host system by following command: # # In a container # echo "|/bin/dd of=/boot/vmlinuz" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern # make_dump Actually, all operation in a container should not change host's environment, the container should use core_pattern as its private setting. In detail, in core dump action: 1: Search pipe program in container's fs namespace. 2: Run pipe program in container's fs namespace to write coredump to it. This patch fixed above problem by running pipe program with container's fs_root. Test: 1: do dump in host should have same action with current code.
