From d07b846f6200454c50d791796edb82660192513d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Forshee Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:16:04 -0500 Subject: fs: Limit file caps to the user namespace of the super block Capability sets attached to files must be ignored except in the user namespaces where the mounter is privileged, i.e. s_user_ns and its descendants. Otherwise a vector exists for gaining privileges in namespaces where a user is not already privileged. Add a new helper function, current_in_user_ns(), to test whether a user namespace is the same as or a descendant of another namespace. Use this helper to determine whether a file's capability set should be applied to the caps constructed during exec. --EWB Replaced in_userns with the simpler current_in_userns.
