Subject: [PATCH 3/3] user namespaces: reset task's credentials on CLONE_NEWUSER
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:56:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080826185605.GC338@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080826185341.GA338@us.ibm.com>
Currently, creating a new user namespace does not reset
the task's uid or gid. Since generally that is done as
root because it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and since the
first uid in the new namespace is 0, one usually doesn't
notice. However, if one does
capset cap_sys_admin=ep ns_exec
su - hallyn
ns_exec -U /bin/sh
id
then one will see hallyn's userid, and all preexisting
groups.
With this patch, cloning a new user namespace will set
the task's uid and gid to 0, and reset the group_info to
the empty set assigned to init.
