[REVIEW][PATCH] exec: Don't exec files the userns root can not read.

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

 



When the user namespace support was merged the need to prevent
ptracing an executable that is not readable was overlooked.

Correct this oversight by not letting exec succeed if during exec an
executable is not readable and the current user namespace capabilities
do not apply to the executable's file.

While it happens that distros install some files setuid and
non-readable I have not found any executable files just installed
non-readalbe.  Executables that are setuid to a user not mapped in a
user namespace are worthless, so I don't expect this to introduce
any problems in practice.

There may be a way to allow this execution to happen by setting
mm->user_ns to a more privileged user namespace and watching out for
the possibility of using dynamic linkers or other shared libraries
that the kernel loads into the mm to bypass the read-only
restriction.  But the analysis is more difficult and it would
require more code churn so I don't think the effort is worth it.

Tossing this out for review in case I missed something silly but this
patch seems pretty trivial.
