[PATCH] per-process securebits

From: Andrew G. Morgan
Date: Fri Feb 01 2008 - 03:11:58 EST


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

Here is the patch to add per-process securebits.

Its all code that lives inside the capability LSM and the new securebits
implementation is only active if CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is
enabled (it doesn't make much sense to support this feature without
filesystem capabilities).

The patch assumes the CAP_SETPCAP fix of last week, but is otherwise on
top of 2.6.24-rc8-mm1.

Cheers

Andrew

Subject: [PATCH] Implement per-process securebits

[This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES
is enabled at configure time.]

Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with
(set)uid-0 based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with
filesystem support for capabilities but without this present patch,
it is (conceptually) possible to manage a system with capabilities
alone and never need to obtain privilege via (set)uid-0.

Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible
since few user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable
system, are currently prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise
privilege. Further, many applications exist that may never get
upgraded in this way, and the kernel will continue to want to support
their setuid-0 base privilege needs.

Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0
binaries, it is desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they
can contain their privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process
bounding and inheritable sets, this should include suppressing the
privilege of the uid-0 superuser from the process' tree of children.

The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the
privilege associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires
CAP_SETPCAP to initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current'
process (it is inherited through fork()/exec()). This
reimplementation differs significantly from the historical support for
securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which has ultimately
withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel.

With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can
now drop all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all
subsequently fork()'d/exec()'d children with:

prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f);

Applying the following patch to progs/capsh.c from libcap-2.05
adds support for this new prctl interface to capsh.c:
