Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for
  backporting to stable.

  The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a
  regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged
  remount were closed.  I go on to update the remount test to make it
  easy to detect if this issue reoccurs.

  Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes.

  Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design
  bug in the permission checks of gid_map.  Unix since the beginning has
  allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and
  other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx).  As the unix permission checks
  stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups
  that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is
  possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a
  process.  Which means dropping a group can increase a processes
  privileges.

  The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable
  without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been
  set to permanently disable setgroups.

  The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications
  using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain
  unaffected by this change.  Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user
  space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one
  of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c).

  To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security
  fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly
  like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes.

userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basis

2014-12-12T00:06:36+00:00

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc//setgroups

  A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the
  current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the
  future in this user namespace.

  A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled.

- Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from
  their parents.

- A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do
  not allow checking the permissions at open time.

- Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map
  for the user namespace is set.

  This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace
  level will never remove the ability to call setgroups
  from a process that already has that ability.

  A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by
  creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling
  setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled.
  Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this
  is a noop.  Prodcess with privilege become processes without
  privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path
  to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call
  setgroups.  So this remains within the bounds of what is possible
  without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace.

userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablished

2014-12-09T22:58:40+00:00

setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called,
in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups.

The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually
be used until a gid mapping is established.  Therefore add a helper function
to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call
that function in the setgroups permission check.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups
without privilege using user namespaces.

proc_uid_seq_operations, proc_gid_seq_operations and
proc_projid_seq_operations are only called in proc_id_map_open with
seq_open as const struct seq_operations so we can constify the 3
structures and update proc_id_map_open prototype.

KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches

2013-09-24T09:35:19+00:00

Add support for per-user_namespace registers of persistent per-UID kerberos
caches held within the kernel.

This allows the kerberos cache to be retained beyond the life of all a user's
processes so that the user's cron jobs can work.

The kerberos cache is envisioned as a keyring/key tree looking something like:

	struct user_namespace
	  \___ .krb_cache keyring		- The register
		\___ _krb.0 keyring		- Root's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5000 keyring		- User 5000's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5001 keyring		- User 5001's Kerberos cache
			\___ tkt785 big_key	- A ccache blob
			\___ tkt12345 big_key	- Another ccache blob

Or possibly:

	struct user_namespace
	  \___ .krb_cache keyring		- The register
		\___ _krb.0 keyring		- Root's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5000 keyring		- User 5000's Kerberos cache
		\___ _krb.5001 keyring		- User 5001's Kerberos cache
			\___ tkt785 keyring	- A ccache
				\___ krbtgt/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM big_key
				\___ http/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ afs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ nfs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user
				\___ krbtgt/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key
				\___ http/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key

What goes into a particular Kerberos cache is entirely up to userspace.  Kernel
support is limited to giving you the Kerberos cache keyring that you want.

The user asks for their Kerberos cache by:

	krb_cache = keyctl_get_krbcache(uid, dest_keyring);

The uid is -1 or the user's own UID for the user's own cache or the uid of some
other user's cache (requires CAP_SETUID).  This permits rpc.gssd or whatever to
mess with the cache.

The cache returned is a keyring named "_krb." that the possessor can read,
search, clear, invalidate, unlink from and add links to.  Active LSMs get a
chance to rule on whether the caller is permitted to make a link.

Each uid's cache keyring is created when it first accessed and is given a
timeout that is extended each time this function is called so that the keyring
goes away after a while.  The timeout is configurable by sysctl but defaults to
three days.

Each user_namespace struct gets a lazily-created keyring that serves as the
register.  The cache keyrings are added to it.  This means that standard key
search and garbage collection facilities are available.

The user_namespace struct's register goes away when it does and anything left
in it is then automatically gc'd.

2013-09-07T21:35:32+00:00

Pull namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is an assorted mishmash of small cleanups, enhancements and bug
  fixes.

  The major theme is user namespace mount restrictions.  nsown_capable
  is killed as it encourages not thinking about details that need to be
  considered.  A very hard to hit pid namespace exiting bug was finally
  tracked and fixed.  A couple of cleanups to the basic namespace
  infrastructure.

  Finally there is an enhancement that makes per user namespace
  capabilities usable as capabilities, and an enhancement that allows
  the per userns root to nice other processes in the user namespace"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  userns:  Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy
  capabilities: allow nice if we are privileged
  pidns: Don't have unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) imply CLONE_THREAD
  userns: Allow PR_CAPBSET_DROP in a user namespace.
  namespaces: Simplify copy_namespaces so it is clear what is going on.
  pidns: Fix hang in zap_pid_ns_processes by sending a potentially extra wakeup
  sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
  userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
  vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc//ns/mnt between namespaces
  kernel/nsproxy.c: Improving a snippet of code.
  proc: Restrict mounting the proc filesystem
  vfs: Lock in place mounts from more privileged users

userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted

2013-08-27T02:17:03+00:00

Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already
mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace.

Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant
way.  I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem
has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly
for other filesystems to mount on top of.

Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that
function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs.  This makes this
test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when
the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user
namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.

userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted

2013-03-27T14:50:08+00:00

Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).
