Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v5 12/14] fchroot11: test failfs entry with no_new_privs
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:16:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fchroot-v5-12-63aa6faff503@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-fchroot-v5-0-63aa6faff503@suse.com>
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Verify that an unprivileged process may enter failfs when it
committed to no_new_privs, since setuid binaries then pose no
confused deputy risk anymore. The test also verifies that a process
which entered failfs counts as chrooted: it can no longer create a
user namespace with unshare() to regain CAP_SYS_CHROOT.
