[PATCH v2 0/4] PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, unshare, and chroot

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Sun Jan 15 2012 - 19:37:59 EST


To make the no_new_privs discussion more concrete, here is an updated
series that is actually useful. It adds PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS with the
same semantics as before (plus John Johansen's AppArmor fix and with
improved bisectability). It then allows some unshare flags and chroot
(sometimes) when no_new_privs is set.

The unprivileged chroot could be quite useful, even though it's rather
constrained for now.

I think that blocking setresuid, setuid, and capset in no_new_privs mode
will make this a little less useful. Comments are welcome.

For the git-inclined, this series is here:
https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/security/no_new_privs/patch_v2

Test it like this:

---- begin test case

#include <sys/prctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS 35
#define PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS 36

int main()
{
int nnp = prctl(PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
if (nnp == -EINVAL) {
printf("Failed!\n");
return 1;
}

printf("nnp was %d\n", nnp);

if (prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) {
printf("Failed!\n");
return 1;
}

nnp = prctl(PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
if (nnp == -EINVAL) {
printf("Failed!\n");
return 1;
}

printf("nnp is %d\n", nnp);

printf("here goes...\n");
execlp("bash", "bash", NULL);
printf("Failed to exec bash\n");
return 1;
}

---- end test case

Andy Lutomirski (3):
Add PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS to prevent execve from granting privs
Allow unprivileged CLONE_NEWUTS and CLONE_NEWIPC with no_new_privs
Allow unprivileged chroot when safe

John Johansen (1):
Fix apparmor for PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS
