Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/6] landlock: Mediate CAP_SETPCAP for inheritable capabilities
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 20:36:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-207717@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110202436.2408244-4-mic@digikod.net>

> A process in a domain that denies CAP_SETPCAP could still add
> capabilities outside of its permitted set to its inheritable set with
> capset(2), if it held CAP_SETPCAP.  cap_capset() checks CAP_SETPCAP with
> cap_capable() in cap_inh_is_capped(), so the check never reaches
> hook_capable().  Through file inheritable capabilities, such a set can
> grant new permitted capabilities on execve() when no_new_privs is not
> set, which is possible for a domain enforced by a task holding
> CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
> 
> Add a Landlock capset hook that checks CAP_SETPCAP against the domain
> under the same condition as cap_capset().  As with the mmap_addr hook,
> LSMs implement their own policy in this hook: SELinux checks capset with
> its own permission.
