Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] implement OA2_CRED_INHERIT flag for openat2()
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 16:33:07 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240426133310.1159976-1-stsp2@yandex.ru> (raw)

This patch-set implements the OA2_CRED_INHERIT flag for openat2() syscall.
It is needed to perform an open operation with the creds that were in
effect when the dir_fd was opened, if the dir was opened with O_CRED_ALLOW
flag. This allows the process to pre-open some dirs and switch eUID
(and other UIDs/GIDs) to the less-privileged user, while still retaining
the possibility to open/create files within the pre-opened directory set.

The sand-boxing is security-oriented: symlinks leading outside of a
sand-box are rejected. /proc magic links are rejected. fds opened with
O_CRED_ALLOW are always closed on exec() and cannot be passed via unix
socket.
The more detailed description (including security considerations)
is available in the log messages of individual patches.

Changes in v5:
- rename OA2_INHERIT_CRED to OA2_CRED_INHERIT
- add an "opt-in" flag O_CRED_ALLOW as was suggested by many reviewers
- stop using 64bit types, as suggested by
  Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
- add BUILD_BUG_ON() for VALID_OPENAT2_FLAGS, based on Christian Brauner's
  comments
- fixed problems reported by patch-testing bot
- made O_CRED_ALLOW fds not passable via unix sockets and exec(),
  based on Christian Brauner's comments

Changes in v4:
- add optimizations suggested by David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>
- move security checks to build_open_flags()
- force RESOLVE_NO_MAGICLINKS as suggested by Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

Changes in v3:
- partially revert v2 changes to avoid overriding capabilities.
  Only the bare minimum is overridden: fsuid, fsgid and group_info.
  Document the fact the full cred override is unwanted, as it may
  represent an unneeded security risk.

Changes in v2:
- capture full struct cred instead of just fsuid/fsgid.
