Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman: "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for backporting to stable. The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it easy to detect if this issue reoccurs. Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes. Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes privileges. The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been set to permanently disable setgroups. The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c). To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes. > So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-) > Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9. > Tested-by: Richard Weinberger > Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine. > Tested-by: Chen Hanxiao > Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels. > Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using > my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid > as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches. > Tested-by: Serge Hallyn > I tested this with Sandstorm.

userns; Correct the comment in map_write

2014-12-12T00:07:06Z

It is important that all maps are less than PAGE_SIZE or else setting the last byte of the buffer to '0' could write off the end of the allocated storage. Correct the misleading comment. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

userns: Allow setting gid_maps without privilege when setgroups is disabled

2014-12-12T00:07:06Z

Now that setgroups can be disabled and not reenabled, setting gid_map without privielge can now be enabled when setgroups is disabled. This restores most of the functionality that was lost when unprivileged setting of gid_map was removed. Applications that use this functionality will need to check to see if they use setgroups or init_groups, and if they don't they can be fixed by simply disabling setgroups before writing to gid_map.

userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basis

2014-12-12T00:06:36Z

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc//setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

userns: Only allow the creator of the userns unprivileged mappings

2014-12-09T23:08:32Z

If you did not create the user namespace and are allowed to write to uid_map or gid_map you should already have the necessary privilege in the parent user namespace to establish any mapping you want so this will not affect userspace in practice. Limiting unprivileged uid mapping establishment to the creator of the user namespace makes it easier to verify all credentials obtained with the uid mapping can be obtained without the uid mapping without privilege. Limiting unprivileged gid mapping establishment (which is temporarily absent) to the creator of the user namespace also ensures that the combination of uid and gid can already be obtained without privilege. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

userns: Check euid no fsuid when establishing an unprivileged uid mapping

2014-12-09T23:08:32Z

setresuid allows the euid to be set to any of uid, euid, suid, and fsuid. Therefor it is safe to allow an unprivileged user to map their euid and use CAP_SETUID privileged with exactly that uid, as no new credentials can be obtained. I can not find a combination of existing system calls that allows setting uid, euid, suid, and fsuid from the fsuid making the previous use of fsuid for allowing unprivileged mappings a bug.

userns: Don't allow unprivileged creation of gid mappings

2014-12-09T23:08:24Z

As any gid mapping will allow and must allow for backwards compatibility dropping groups don't allow any gid mappings to be established without CAP_SETGID in the parent user namespace. For a small class of applications this change breaks userspace and removes useful functionality. This small class of applications includes tools/testing/selftests/mount/unprivilged-remount-test.c Most of the removed functionality will be added back with the addition of a one way knob to disable setgroups. Once setgroups is disabled setting the gid_map becomes as safe as setting the uid_map. For more common applications that set the uid_map and the gid_map with privilege this change will have no affect. This is part of a fix for CVE-2014-8989.

userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablished

2014-12-09T22:58:40Z

setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

userns: Document what the invariant required for safe unprivileged mappings.

2014-12-06T01:07:26Z

The rule is simple. Don't allow anything that wouldn't be allowed without unprivileged mappings. It was previously overlooked that establishing gid mappings would allow dropping groups and potentially gaining permission to files and directories that had lesser permissions for a specific group than for all other users. This is the rule needed to fix CVE-2014-8989 and prevent any other security issues with new_idmap_permitted. The reason for this rule is that the unix permission model is old and there are programs out there somewhere that take advantage of every little corner of it. So allowing a uid or gid mapping to be established without privielge that would allow anything that would not be allowed without that mapping will result in expectations from some code somewhere being violated. Violated expectations about the behavior of the OS is a long way to say a security issue. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"
