Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/5] capabilities: limit fscaps to where CAP_SETFCAP reaches
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2026 15:53:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006155356.BF3DB1F0089B@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006-b4-setfcap-userns-v1-4-f47e7ed66072@toxicpanda.com>

> Commit db2e718a4798 ("capabilities: require CAP_SETFCAP to map uid 0")
> keeps a root process without CAP_SETFCAP from creating a user namespace
> that maps uid 0, in which it could attach capabilities to a file that are
> then honoured outside.  It does not have to create one, though.  Any
> namespace will do that maps uid 0 and that it may enter, and it may enter
> all those that were created by uid 0:
> 
>   task A: uid 0, full caps          task B: uid 0, no CAP_SETFCAP
>   unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
>   write "0 0 1" to uid_map, gid_map
>                                     setns(A's user ns)
>                                       full capability set
>                                     setxattr(file, "security.capability")
>                                       rootid = kuid 0
>                                     (back in the initial namespace)
> [ ... ]
> own namespaces.  The rest gets -EPERM.
