Subject: [PATCHv3 2/2] userns: control capabilities of some user namespaces
From: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@...gle.com>
With this new notion of "controlled" user-namespaces, the controlled
user-namespaces are marked at the time of their creation while the
capabilities of processes that belong to them are controlled using the
global mask.
Init-user-ns is always uncontrolled and a process that has SYS_ADMIN
that belongs to uncontrolled user-ns can create another (child) user-
namespace that is uncontrolled. Any other process (that either does
not have SYS_ADMIN or belongs to a controlled user-ns) can only
create a user-ns that is controlled.
global-capability-whitelist (controlled_userns_caps_whitelist) is used
at the capability check-time and keeps the semantics for the processes
that belong to uncontrolled user-ns as it is. Processes that belong to
controlled user-ns however are subjected to different checks-
(a) if the capability in question is controlled and process belongs
to controlled user-ns, then it's always denied.
(b) if the capability in question is NOT controlled then fall back
to the traditional check.
