Pull namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "This is an assorted mishmash of small cleanups, enhancements and bug fixes. The major theme is user namespace mount restrictions. nsown_capable is killed as it encourages not thinking about details that need to be considered. A very hard to hit pid namespace exiting bug was finally tracked and fixed. A couple of cleanups to the basic namespace infrastructure. Finally there is an enhancement that makes per user namespace capabilities usable as capabilities, and an enhancement that allows the per userns root to nice other processes in the user namespace" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: userns: Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy capabilities: allow nice if we are privileged pidns: Don't have unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) imply CLONE_THREAD userns: Allow PR_CAPBSET_DROP in a user namespace. namespaces: Simplify copy_namespaces so it is clear what is going on. pidns: Fix hang in zap_pid_ns_processes by sending a potentially extra wakeup sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc//ns/mnt between namespaces kernel/nsproxy.c: Improving a snippet of code. proc: Restrict mounting the proc filesystem vfs: Lock in place mounts from more privileged users

userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted

2013-08-27T02:17:03Z

Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace. Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant way. I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly for other filesystems to mount on top of. Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs. This makes this test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.

userns: limit the maximum depth of user_namespace->parent chain

2013-08-08T20:11:39Z

Ensure that user_namespace->parent chain can't grow too much. Currently we use the hardroded 32 as limit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

userns: unshare_userns(&cred) should not populate cred on failure

2013-08-06T20:13:24Z

unshare_userns(new_cred) does *new_cred = prepare_creds() before create_user_ns() which can fail. However, the caller expects that it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails. We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes *new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.

userns: Changing any namespace id mappings should require privileges

2013-04-15T01:11:32Z

Changing uid/gid/projid mappings doesn't change your id within the namespace; it reconfigures the namespace. Unprivileged programs should *not* be able to write these files. (We're also checking the privileges on the wrong task.) Given the write-once nature of these files and the other security checks, this is likely impossible to usefully exploit.

userns: Don't let unprivileged users trick privileged users into setting the id_map

2013-04-15T01:11:14Z

When we require privilege for setting /proc//uid_map or /proc//gid_map no longer allow an unprivileged user to open the file and pass it to a privileged program to write to the file. Instead when privilege is required require both the opener and the writer to have the necessary capabilities. I have tested this code and verified that setting /proc//uid_map fails when an unprivileged user opens the file and a privielged user attempts to set the mapping, that unprivileged users can still map their own id, and that a privileged users can still setup an arbitrary mapping.

userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted

2013-03-27T14:50:08Z

Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already mounted when the user namespace is created. proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that is shared between every instance. Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time the user namespace was created. In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all (some form of mount namespace jail).
