Subject: [PATCH 1/3] pidns: fix vfork() after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:09:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130822170958.GA20314@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130822170939.GA20296@redhat.com>
8382fcac "pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)"
nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared pid_ns, this obviously
breaks vfork:
int main(void)
{
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
assert(vfork() >= 0);
_exit(0);
return 0;
}
fails without this patch.
Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead. This also forbids
CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies.
We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD,
but it would be safer to not do this. The current check denies
CLONE_SIGHAND implicitely and there is no reason to change this.
