[PATCH v1 0/1] Unprivileged chroot

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Wed Mar 10 2021 - 11:11:00 EST


Hi,

The chroot system call is currently limited to be used by processes with
the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability. This protects against malicious
procesess willing to trick SUID-like binaries. The following patch
allows unprivileged users to safely use chroot(2).

This patch is a follow-up of a previous one sent by Andy Lutomirski some
time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0e2f0f54e19bff53a3739ecfddb4ffa9a6dbde4d.1327858005.git.luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This patch can be applied on top of v5.12-rc2 . I would really
appreciate constructive reviews.

Regards,

Mickaël Salaün (1):
fs: Allow no_new_privs tasks to call chroot(2)
