BTW, a quick look at overlayfs suggests further problems with regard to
permission checking, e.g. ovl_copy_up_one() does:
/*
* CAP_SYS_ADMIN for copying up extended attributes
* CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE for create
* CAP_FOWNER for chmod, timestamp update
* CAP_FSETID for chmod
* CAP_CHOWN for chown
* CAP_MKNOD for mknod
*/
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_SYS_ADMIN);
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE);
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_FOWNER);
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_FSETID);
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_CHOWN);
cap_raise(override_cred->cap_effective, CAP_MKNOD);
old_cred = override_creds(override_cred);
This means that it expects to trigger those capability checks as part of
its subsequent actions. Raising those capabilities temporarily in its
credentials will pass the capability module checks but won't address the
corresponding SELinux checks (both capability and file-based), so you'll
end up triggering an entire set of checks against the current process'
credentials. This same pattern is repeated elsewhere in overlayfs.
