[PATCH v3 0/1] Unprivileged chroot

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

 



Hi,

This new patch replaces the path_is_under() check with
current_chrooted() as it is done with user namespaces.  Indeed, it is
much more simple to check the current root instead of limiting access to
a subset of files.

The chroot system call is currently limited to be used by processes with
the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability.  This protects against malicious
procesess willing to trick SUID-like binaries.  The following patch
allows unprivileged users to safely use chroot(2), which may be
complementary to the use of user namespaces.

This patch is a follow-up of a previous one sent by Andy Lutomirski some
time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0e2f0f54e19bff53a3739ecfddb4ffa9a6dbde4d.1327858005.git.luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This patch can be applied on top of v5.12-rc2 .  I would really
appreciate constructive reviews.
