Subject: user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7657d90497f98426af17f0ac633a9b335bb7a8fb;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER

While ideally CLONE_NEWUSER will eventually require no
privilege, the required permission checks are currently
not there.  As a result, CLONE_NEWUSER has the same effect
as a setuid(0)+setgroups(1,"0").  While we already require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, requiring CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID seems
appropriate.
