Subject: [Bug 216215] New: clone and unshare say CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to create new namespaces
Date: Thu, 07 Jul 2022 18:50:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-216215-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216215

            Bug ID: 216215
           Summary: clone and unshare say CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to
                    create new namespaces
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: linuxkernelbugzilla@pxeger.com
        Regression: No

According to clone(2) and unshare(2), the various CLONE_NEW* flags for creating
new namespaces require CAP_SYS_ADMIN. But this is not the case, and never has
been (as best I can tell from some git log grepping in the kernel).
