Subject: Re: Linux user namespaces can bypass group-based restrictions - Linux kernel

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

> On Linux, if you can unshare your user namespace (which is the case on
> many distributions), then you can map your fsuid and fsgid into the
> new namespace and, inside that namespace, drop all of your other
> groups.
> 
> This may allow you to access files protected by POSIX ACLs as "other",
> even if the ACL should have prohibited it based on one of your
> supplementary group IDs.

> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/7385/

> defeats POSIX ACLs with a group entry that is more restrictive than
> the other entry

> Fedora and Ubuntu are likely to be affected in their default
> configurations.
