[PATCH 1/3] namei: implement O_BENEATH-style AT_* flags

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Sat Sep 29 2018 - 06:35:22 EST


Add the following flags for path resolution. The primary justification
for these flags is to allow for programs to be far more strict about how
they want path resolution to handle symlinks, mountpoint crossings, and
paths that escape the dirfd (through an absolute path or ".."
shenanigans).

This is of particular concern to container runtimes that want to be very
careful about malicious root filesystems that a container's init might
have screwed around with (and there is no real way to protect against
this in userspace if you consider potential races against a malicious
container's init).

* AT_BENEATH: Disallow ".." or absolute paths (either in the path or
found during symlink resolution) to escape the starting point of name
resolution, though ".." is permitted in cases like "foo/../bar".
Relative symlinks are still allowed (as long as they don't escape the
starting point).

* AT_XDEV: Disallow mount-point crossing (both *down* into one, or *up*
from one). The primary "scoping" use is to blocking resolution that
crosses a bind-mount, which has a similar property to a symlink (in
the way that it allows for escape from the starting-point). Since it
is not possible to differentiate bind-mounts However since
bind-mounting requires privileges (in ways symlinks don't) this has
been split from LOOKUP_BENEATH. The naming is based on "find -xdev"
(though find(1) doesn't walk upwards, the semantics seem obvious).

* AT_NO_PROCLINK: Disallows ->get_link "symlink" jumping. This is a very
specific restriction, and it exists because /proc/$pid/fd/...
"symlinks" allow for access outside nd->root and pose risk to
container runtimes that don't want to be tricked into accessing a host
path (but do want to allow no-funny-business symlink resolution).

* AT_NO_SYMLINK: Disallows symlink jumping *of any kind*. Implies
AT_NO_PROCLINK (obviously).

The AT_NO_*LINK flags return -ELOOP if path resolution would violates
their requirement, while the others all return -EXDEV. Currently these
are only enabled for the stat(2) family and the openat(2) family (the
latter has its own brand of O_* flags with the same semantics). Ideally
these flags would be supported by all *at(2) syscalls, but this will
require adding flags arguments to many of them (and will be done in a
separate patchset).
