Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
binfmt_misc: don&#39;t warn when the mount is completed from another user namespace<br />
<br />
fsopen() records the caller&#39;s user namespace in fc->user_ns and hands<br />
back an ordinary file descriptor. Nothing ties the task that calls<br />
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) to the task that created the context. The<br />
fd is inherited across fork() and exec() and it can be passed over a<br />
unix socket.<br />
<br />
Completing a context from another user namespace is allowed on purpose.<br />
vfs_cmd_create() authorizes the create with mount_capable(), which for<br />
FS_USERNS_MOUNT checks ns_capable(fc->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN), and that<br />
succeeds for a task holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN in an ancestor of fc->user_ns.<br />
So an unprivileged task can reach the WARN_ON() in bm_fill_super():<br />
create a user and a mount namespace in a child, call<br />
fsopen("binfmt_misc") there, send the fscontext fd to the parent and let<br />
the parent issue FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE. Both namespaces come from a plain<br />
unshare(1) and no capability is needed anywhere:<br />
<br />
WARNING: fs/binfmt_misc.c:938 at bm_fill_super+0xa2/0xc0 [binfmt_misc]<br />
CPU: 15 UID: 1000 PID: 3243382 Comm: fswarn<br />
Call Trace:<br />

__do_sys_fsconfig+0x4b2/0x500<br />
<br />
The child needs the mount namespace because fsopen() itself gates on<br />
may_mount(), which asks for CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user namespace owning<br />
the caller&#39;s mount namespace. fsconfig() doesn&#39;t repeat that check.<br />
<br />
It is a WARN_ON() and not a WARN_ON_ONCE(), so the condition can be<br />
raised in a loop to taint the kernel and flood the log, and it panics a<br />
kernel booted with panic_on_warn.<br />
<br />
Keep refusing the mount and stop warning about it. Nothing in<br />
bm_fill_super() depends on the two namespaces matching, it derives<br />
everything from sb->s_user_ns.
