From 54b4e5df958c6ec1cb4afe502e045369ab5557f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 09:42:00 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities [ Upstream commit 95ebabde382c371572297915b104e55403674e73 ] The v3 file capabilities have a uid field that records the filesystem uid of the root user of the user namespace the file capabilities are valid in. When someone is silly enough to have the same underlying uid as the root uid of multiple nested containers a v3 filesystem capability can be ambiguous. In the spirit of don't do that then, forbid writing a v3 filesystem capability if it is ambiguous. Fixes: 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities") Reviewed-by: Andrew G.
