      V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap · 72c2d582
      Andrew Morgan 提交于
      The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
      can change the capabilities of another process, p2.  This is not the
      meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
      implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
      there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
      another.
      
      Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
      implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.
      
      The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
      process can set the capabilities of another process.
      
      The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
      rules:
      
         pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
         pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
         pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0
      
      at exec() time.  As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
      have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
      capability set.
      
      The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
      is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
      - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
      are applied.
      
      Here is how it works:
      
      Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
      Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where
      
         (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.
      
      That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
      be present in pP.
      
      The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
      the above:
      
         if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
            pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0  */
         }
      
      This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
      pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
      by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
      are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.
      
      One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
      capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
      only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
      it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
      would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
      capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

      Implement file posix capabilities · b5376771
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given a
      subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
      setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
      
      This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
      http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php.  For more information on how to use this
      patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
      http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      Changelog:
      	Nov 27:
      	Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
      	(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
      	security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
      	Fix Kconfig dependency.
      	Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
      	capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
      
      	Nov 13:
      	Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
      	Dobriyan.
      
      	Nov 09:
      	Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
      	when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
      	up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
      	function.
      
      	Nov 08:
      	For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
      	them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
      	check_cap_sanity().
      
      	Nov 07:
      	Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
      	capabilities are the default.
      	Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
      	Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
      	audit messages.
      
      	Nov 05:
      	Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
      	task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
      	cap support can be stacked.
      
      	Sep 05:
      	As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
      	for capability code.
      
      	Sep 01:
      	Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
      	task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
      	they called a program with some fscaps.
      
      	One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
      	ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
      	cpuset?
      
      	It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
      	allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
      	it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
      	CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
      	fixing it might be tough.
      
      	     task_setscheduler
      		 note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
      		     CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
      	     task_setioprio
      	     task_setnice
      		 sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
      		 process.  Need same checks as setrlimit
      
      	Aug 21:
      	Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
      	euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
      	might still have elevated caps.
      
      	Aug 15:
      	Handle endianness of xattrs.
      	Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
      	Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
      	set, else return -EPERM.
      	With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
      	doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
      	d_instantiate.
      
      	Aug 10:
      	Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
      	caching it at d_instantiate.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
