[PATCH] NAK: KEYS: keyctl_chown_key: validate current key uid/gid and capabilities wrt namespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When changing key ownership with keyctl_chown_key, continue to allow
initial namespace sysadmin to perform any changes.

Whitelist namespaced sysadmin to also make the changes, if
 * key uid & gid are mapped to the current namespace
 * CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability is present in the same namespace
 * the key is already possessed

This ensures that namespace sysadmin cannot move a key across user
namespaces, and cannot operate on keys that use a different uid_map.

The specific usecase here, is for the priviledged supervisor to
pre-create a session keyring and pass it onto a new process.

However, this does not fix the desired issue at hand. Since
"containers" typically are in a different pid namespace, yet may use
an identical uid_map. Thus resulting in initial namespace
CAP_SYS_ADMIN process not able to CHOWN keys belonging to a userid
namespace, but two sibling namespace CAP_SYS_ADMIN process can chown
each other keys. To fix this properly, the kernel keyring keys need to
grow additional references, e.g. to the upcoming container id stuff,
or to hook onto pid namespace somehow.

After doing this work, I relalised that
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6281 can be solved
elsehow. Specifically I only needed to create they keys with the right
owner, and thus setreuid/setregid was enough to create keyring with
the right owner. However, I feel there is still value to post this
patch to the original mailing list thread, with an extra NAK,
explaining slightly more caveats around opening up permission to the
chown operation.

But otherwise the code below is just a NAK on this current approach,
as it will yield bad results.
