util-linux-ng: unprivileged mounts support

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

 



From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

This is an experimental patch for supporing unprivileged mounts and
umounts.  The following features are added:

1) If mount/umount are suid, first try without privileges.

This is done by forking, dropping privileges in child, and redirecting
stderr to /dev/null.  If this succeeds, then parent exits with zero
exit code.  Otherwise parent continues normally (with privileges).
This isn't perfect, because the wrong error message will be printed if
mount/umount failed not because of insufficient privileges, but some
other error (e.g. mountpoint busy).

2) Support user mounts in kernel.

If /etc/mtab is a symlink (to /proc/mounts if it's been set up
correctly), then change fsuid for the duration of the mount syscall
and use the MS_SETOWNER flag.  Old kernels will simply ignore this,
and everything will work as before.  Kernels with the unprivileged
mounts patches will set the owner of the mount, and the relevant line
in /proc/PID/mounts will contain a "user=XYZ" option, making this
backward compatible with /etc/mtab.

3) Root can force a specific user for a mount with "-ouser=XYZ".  This
has worked previously as well, but that was probably just accidental
(the option was copied verbatim to /etc/mtab).

4) Add support for "mnt" and "nomnt" options.  These can be used to
allow or prohibit unprivileged submounting of a user mount.

Example:

root# mount --bind -ouser=xyz /home/xyz /home/xyz
xyz> mount --bind ~/foo ~/bar
xyz> umount ~/bar
