[PATCH v2 00/10] userns: sysctl limits for namespaces

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patchset addresses two use cases:
- Implement a sane upper bound on the number of namespaces.
- Provide a way for sandboxes to limit the attack surface from
  namespaces.

The maximum sane case I can imagine is if every process is a fat
process, so I set the maximum number of namespaces to the maximum
number of threads.

I make these limits recursive and per user namespace so that a
usernamespace root can reduce the limits further.  If a user namespace
root raises the limit the limit in the parent namespace will be honored.

I have cut this implementation to the bare minimum needed to achieve
these objectives.

Does anyone know if there is a proper error code to return for resource
limit exceeded?  I am currently using -EUSERS or -ENFILE but both of
those feel a little wrong.

Assuming nothing problematic shows up in the review I will add these to
my user namespace tree.

These patches are also available at:
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-testing

Changes since v1:
- Compilation issues with !CONFIG_SYSCTL and !CONFIG_USER_NS have been addressed
- Comment improvements.
- A few names have been changed to be clearer.

Eric W. Biederman (10):
      sysctl: Stop implicitly passing current into sysctl_table_root.lookup
      userns: Add per user namespace sysctls.
      userns: Add a limit on the number of user namespaces
      userns: Generalize the user namespace count into ucount
      pidns: Add a limit on the number of pid namespaces
      utsns: Add a limit on the number of uts namespaces
      ipcns: Add a  limit on the number of ipc namespaces
      cgroupns: Add a limit on the number of cgroup namespaces
      netns: Add a limit on the number of net namespaces
      mntns: Add a limit on the number of mount namespaces.

Perhaps this is obvious, but since you didn't quite explicitly state it;
do you see this as obsoleting the existing downstream patches
mentioned in:
https://lwn.net/Articles/673597/
It seems conceptually similar to Kees' original approach, right?

The high level makes sense to me...most interesting is
per-userns sysctls.  I'll note most current container managers
mount /proc/sys read-only, and Docker specifically drops
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE by default, so they'd likely need to learn
how to undo that if one wanted to support recursive container usage.
We'd probably need to evaluate the safety of having /proc/sys
writable generally.  (Also it's rather common to filter out CLONE_NEWUSER
via seccomp, but that's easy to undo)

But that's the flip side - if we're aiming primarily for an upstreamable
way to *limit* namespace usage, it seems sane to me.

Similar yes, and I expect it fills the need.  My primary difference is
that I believe this approach makes sense from a perspective of assuming
that user namespaces or other namespaces are not any buggier than any
other piece of kernel code and that people will use them.

I don't see these limits making sense from a perspective that user
namespaces are flawed and distro kernels should not have enabled them in
the first place.  That was my perception right or wrong of Kees patches
and the related patches that landed in Ubuntu and Debian.

With Kees approach I could not see how to handle the case where some
applications on the system wanted user namespaces and others don't.
Which made it very nasty for future evolution and more deployment of
user namespaces.  Being per user namespace these limits can be used to
sandbox applications without affecting the rest of the system.

Just using a user namespace replaces most of those precautions.

Yes.  The primary target is to stop applications that have gone buggy
and allocated a crazy number of namespaces.  The secondary target
is to allow sandboxes to disable creation of additional namespaces.
Just set the limit to 0 and drop caps, or similarly set the limit
to 1 and create another fresh set of nested namespaces.

While it certainly works for my use-case (init ns
max_usernamespaces=0), I don't see how this helps the case of "let
user foobar open 1 userns, but everyone else is 0", which is likely
the middle ground between "just turn it off" and "everyone gets to
create usernamespaces". I'm personally not interested in that level of
granularity, but in earlier discussions it sounded like this was
something you wanted?

So the case I really care about is when there is limited use, so people
don't have to redesign their applications.  In this case if you want to
disable things in a sandbox like way you just create a user namespace
and set the count to 0 in that user namespace.

A whole system disable I tend to think is a stupid configuration for a
new system.  It gets into people negotiating for what they need, and I
don't see that as sustainable.  I prefer good usable defaults.

I would have loved to have done something with per user limits so it
could be disabled for a selection of users, but it turns out the kernel
doesn't have appropriate data structures for to hold limits for users
that have not logged in.

And in practice I don't care the case where 1 user is allowed but not
the others, I care about disallow this user/program that is in a
sandbox.  I also seem to recall people have problems with using seccomp
to disable things.  All of that said a per user policy is easily
implemented in pam by setting the size count for a specific user to 0.

I do think a limit to catch applications that go crazy is very sane, and
that is primarily what is implemented here.

[PATCH v2 01/10] sysctl: Stop implicitly passing current into sysctl_table_root.lookup

[Eric W. Biederman]

Passing nsproxy into sysctl_table_root.lookup was a premature
optimization in attempt to avoid depending on current.  The
directory /proc/self/sys has not appeared and if and when
it does this code will need to be reviewed closely and reworked
anyway.  So remove the premature optimization.

[PATCH v2 04/10] userns: Generalize the user namespace count into ucount

[Eric W. Biederman]

The same kind of recursive sane default limit and policy
countrol that has been implemented for the user namespace
is desirable for the other namespaces, so generalize
the user namespace refernce count into a ucount.

[PATCH v2 02/10] userns: Add per user namespace sysctls.

[Eric W. Biederman]

of CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

Add all of the necessary boilerplate for having per user namespace
sysctls.

^^^^^^^^^^ Unfortunately it is not safe to call a sleeping function here
           so this part needs to be taken back to the drawing board.
 
           Which means this change gets has to wait for next cycle.

For clarity I intend to merge these changes through the userns tree,
when the issues are resolved.

I Cc'd netdev as there is a limit on the number of network namespaces in
this set which may be of interest to networking folks.

I expect there will be some follow on about adding sanity checking
limits to other kernel data structures like a maximum number of mounts
in a mount namespace, and perhaps a maximum number of routes in a
network namespace.

User namespaces have enabled unprivileged users access to a lot more
data structures and so to catch programs that go crazy we need a lot
more limits.  I believe some of those limits make sense per namespace.
As it is easy in some cases to say any more than Y number of those
per namespace is excessive.   For example a limit of 1,000,000 ipv4
routes per network namespaces is a sanity check as there are
currently 621,649 ipv4 prefixes advertized in bgp.

But that is something to worry about after the merge window.

When we give a new namespace to unprivileged users, we honestly should
make the sysctl settings we give to them become "limits".  They can
further constrain the sysctl settings but may not raise them.

I won't disagree.  I was thinking in terms of global setting that
hold the limits for per namespace counters.  As we are talking sanity
check limits.

Perhaps we could get sophisticated and do something more but the simpler
we can make things and get the job done the better.

I think you need to move this check after initilizing  net->passive.
When setup_net returns an error, net_drop_ns is called:

void net_drop_ns(void *p)
{
        struct net *ns = p;
        if (ns && atomic_dec_and_test(&ns->passive))
                net_free(ns);
}

Actually, I think it would be better to make this check before net_alloc().

You are probably right.  I seem to be trying to be entirely too clever
putting that in setup_net so I can cover the initial network namespace.
Which really does not need to be counted.  As clearly I also goofed up
the decrement on error case as well.

ENFILE certainly seems weird. I suppose my first question is: why two
different errors?

Some alternatives you might want to consider: E2BIG, EOVERFLOW,
or (maybe) ERANGE.

EUSERS was there in the user namespace case for this condition (well
nesting depth but same principle) so it made sense to start with.  But
too many users doesn't really make sense.

ENFILE is actually slightly less insane.  It actually is about hitting a
resource limit, and seemed the most generic catchall we had.

My problem with those is typically those are about the values in fields,
not about creating too many things.  So those really don't feel right.
EACCESS or EPERM might be better but those are very very generic.

I really want ETOOMANY or something like that.

I am actually surprised given how common this pattern is, and the fact that
rlimits have existed forever, that we don't have a resource limit
exceeded error code.  I suppose it might be worth looking at Posix to
see if they have any suggestions.  Perhaps it may even be time to add an
appropriate error code to the list.

Not the most important thing out of this patch series but something
worth looking at.

Hello Eric,

I realized I had a question after the last mail.

Can you say more about the second point? What exactly is the
problem that is being addressed, and how does the patch series
address it? (It would be good to have those details in the
revised commit message...)

Michael

At some point it was reported that seccomp was not sufficient to disable
namespace creation.  I need to go back and look at that claim to see
which set of circumstances that was referring to.  Seccomp doesn't stack
so I can see why it is an issue.

The general problem is that namespaces by their nature (and especially
in combination with the user namespaces) allow unprivileged users to use
more of the kernel than a user would have access to without them.  This
in turn allows malicious users more kernel calls they can use in attempt
to find an exploitable bug.

So if you are building a sandbox/chroot jail/chromium tab or anything
like that and you know you won't be needing a kernel feature having an
easy way to disable the feature is useful for making the kernel
marginally more secure, as certain attack vectors are no longer
possible.

seccomp does stack. The trouble usually comes from a perception that
seccomp overhead is not trivial, so setting a system-wide policy is a
bit of a large hammer for such a limitiation. Also, at the time,
seccomp could be bypasses with ptrace, but this (as of v4.8) is no
longer true.

Sounds like someone needs to send me a patch for the seccomp.2 man page?

It's on my TODO list, no worries. :) I'm waiting for it to land in
Linus's tree first. It's only been in -next so far.

Re: [PATCH v2 00/10] userns: sysctl limits for namespaces

[Eric W. Biederman]

I won't have any more time for this until I return from vacation at the
end of the month but after a little bit of thought I think I have fixed
all of the bugs (except arguably the return value).

I have further tweaked these and made the limits per user.  Because it
occured to me that if the limits are global it is possible for one
misbehaving user to DOS another which is undesirable in princible.

I have put my updated code at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git for-testing
