iiuc this should be ok for lxc since it always has a privileged map writer.
(sorry I'm pretty much afk until dec 10)
Thanks,

Classic unix permission checks have an interesting feature. The
group permissions for a file can be set to less than the other
permissions on a file. Occasionally this is used deliberately to
give a certain group of users fewer permissions than the default.
User namespaces break this usage. Groups set in rgid or egid are
unaffected because an unprivileged user namespace creator can only
map a single group, so setresgid inside and outside the namespace
have the same effect. However, an unprivileged user namespace
creator can currently use setgroups(2) to drop all supplementary
groups, so, if a supplementary group denies access to some resource,
user namespaces can be used to bypass that restriction.
To fix this issue without unduly breaking existing user code, this
introduces a new user namespace flag USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED. If
that flag is not set, then setgroups(2) will fail regardless of the
caller's capabilities.
USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED is cleared in a new user namespace. By
default, if the writer of gid_map has CAP_SETGID in the parent
userns and the parent userns has USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED, then the
USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED will be set in the child.
While it could be safe to set USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED if the user
namespace creator has no supplementary groups, doing so could be
surprising and could have unpleasant interactions with setns(2).
The default behavior can be overridden by adding a line of the form
"setgroups allow" or "setgroups deny" to gid_map. The former will
return -EPERM if the caller is not permitted to set
USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED, and the latter will clear
USERNS_SETGROUPS_ALLOWED even if the flag would otherwise be set.
This change should break userspace by the minimal amount needed to
fix this issue. Any application that uses newgidmap(1) should be
unaffected by this fix, and unprivileged users that create user
namespaces to manipulate mounts or sandbox themselves will also be
unaffected unless they try to use setgroups(2).
This should fix CVE-2014-8989.

Eric, this is an alternative to your patch. I think it will cause
less breakage, and it will keep unprivileged user namespaces
more or less fully functional.
Kenton, I think that neither run-bundle nor supervisor-main will be
broken by this patch.
