From d83f5901bc0cd7131a3b8534169ee889efc4c257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:21:14 -0800 Subject: coda: Restrict coda messages to the initial user namespace Remove the slight chance that uids and gids in coda messages will be interpreted in the wrong user namespace. - Only allow processes in the initial user namespace to open the coda character device to communicate with coda filesystems. - Explicitly convert the uids in the coda header into the initial user namespace. - In coda_vattr_to_attr make kuids and kgids from the initial user namespace uids and gids in struct coda_vattr that just came from userspace. - In coda_iattr_to_vattr convert kuids and kgids into uids and gids in the intial user namespace and store them in struct coda_vattr for sending to coda userspace programs. Nothing needs to be changed with mounts as coda does not support being mounted in anything other than the initial user namespace. Cc: Jan Harkes Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
