* vhost-user: compare mode MODE_PASTA and not MODE_PASSTLaurent Vivier2024-06-131-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | As we are going to introduce the MODE_VU that will act like the mode MODE_PASST, compare to MODE_PASTA rather than to add a comparison to MODE_VU when we check for MODE_PASST.

* cppcheck: Make many pointers constDavid Gibson2023-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Newer versions of cppcheck (as of 2.12.0, at least) added a warning for pointers which could be declared to point at const data, but aren't. Based on that, make many pointers throughout the codebase const. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* isolation: keep CAP_SYS_PTRACE when requiredPaul Holzinger2023-06-251-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pasta is started from an existing userns and tries to join the netns from another process it fails to open /proc/$pid/ns/net due the missing CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability in the --netns-only case. A simple reproducer for this. First create a userns: $ unshare -r Then create a new netns inside it and try to join that netns with pasta. $ unshare -n sleep inf & $ pasta --config-net --netns /proc/$!/ns/net Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <pholzing@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* isolation: Initially Keep CAP_SETFCAP if running as UID 0 in non-initStefano Brivio2023-05-231-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | If pasta spawns a child process while running as UID 0, which is only allowed from a non-init namespace, we need to keep CAP_SETFCAP before pasta_start_ns() is called: otherwise, starting from Linux 5.12, we won't be able to update /proc/self/uid_map with the intended mapping (from 0 to 0).

* passt: Relicense to GPL 2.0, or any later versionStefano Brivio2023-04-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not suitable to be executed over a computer network. Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility dilemmas. Change licensing terms to the GNU General Public License Version 2, or any later version, with written permission from all current and past contributors, namely: myself, David Gibson, Laine Stump, Andrea Bolognani, Paul Holzinger, Richard W.M.

* treewide: Fix header includes to build with muslChris Kuhn2023-03-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Roughly inspired from a patch by Chris Kuhn: fix up includes so that we can build against musl: glibc is more lenient as headers generally include a larger amount of other headers. Compared to the original patch, I only included what was needed directly in C files, instead of adding blanket includes in local header files. It's a bit more involved, but more consistent with the current (not ideal) situation.

* isolation: Only configure UID/GID mappings in userns when spawning shellDavid Gibson2022-10-151-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When in passt mode, or pasta mode spawning a command, we create a userns for ourselves. This is used both to isolate the pasta/passt process itself and to run the spawned command, if any. Since eed17a47 "Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time" we've handled both cases the same, configuring the UID and GID mappings in the new userns to map whichever UID we're running as to root within the userns. This mapping is desirable when spawning a shell or other command, so that the user gets a root shell with reasonably clear abilities within the userns and netns. It's not necessarily essential, though. When not spawning a shell, it doesn't really have any purpose: passt itself doesn't need to be root and can operate fine with an unmapped user (using some of the capabilities we get when entering the userns instead). Configuring the uid_map can cause problems if passt is running with any capabilities in the initial namespace, such as CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to allow it to forward low ports. In this case the kernel makes files in /proc/pid owned by root rather than the starting user to prevent the user from interfering with the operation of the capability-enhanced process. This includes uid_map meaning we are not able to write to it. Whether this behaviour is correct in the kernel is debatable, but in any case we might as well avoid problems by only initializing the user mappings when we really want them.

* isolation: Prevent any child processes gaining capabilitiesDavid Gibson2022-10-151-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We drop our own capabilities, but it's possible that processes we exec() could gain extra privilege via file capabilities. It shouldn't be possible for us to exec() anyway due to seccomp() and our filesystem isolation. But just in case, zero the bounding and inheritable capability sets to prevent any such child from gainin privilege. Note that we do this *after* spawning the pasta shell/command (if any), because we do want the user to be able to give that privilege if they want.

* isolation: Replace drop_caps() with a version that actually does somethingDavid Gibson2022-10-151-9/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current implementation of drop_caps() doesn't really work because it attempts to drop capabilities from the bounding set. That's not the set that really matters, it's about limiting the abilities of things we might later exec() rather than our own capabilities. It also requires CAP_SETPCAP which we won't usually have. Replace it with a new version which uses setcap(2) to drop capabilities from the effective and permitted sets. For now we leave the inheritable set as is, since we don't want to preclude the user from passing inheritable capabilities to the command spawed by pasta. Correctly dropping caps reveals that we were relying on some capabilities we'd supposedly dropped. Re-divide the dropping of capabilities between isolate_initial(), isolate_user() and isolate_prefork() to make this work.

* isolation: Refactor isolate_user() to allow for a common exit pathDavid Gibson2022-10-151-24/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, isolate_user() exits early if the --netns-only option is given. That works for now, but shortly we're going to want to add some logic to go at the end of isolate_user() that needs to run in all cases: joining a given userns, creating a new userns, or staying in our original userns (--netns-only). To avoid muddying those changes, here we reorganize isolate_user() to have a common exit path for all cases.

* Replace FWRITE with a functionDavid Gibson2022-10-151-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a few places we use the FWRITE() macro to open a file, replace it's contents with a given string and close it again. There's no real reason this needs to be a macro rather than just a function though. Turn it into a function 'write_file()' and make some ancillary cleanups while we're there: - Add a return code so the caller can handle giving a useful error message - Handle the case of short write()s (unlikely, but possible) - Add O_TRUNC, to make sure we replace the existing contents entirely Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same timeDavid Gibson2022-09-131-17/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | passt/pasta can interact with user namespaces in a number of ways: 1) With --netns-only we'll remain in our original user namespace 2) With --userns or a PID option to pasta we'll join either the given user namespace or that of the PID 3) When pasta spawns a shell or command we'll start a new user namespace for the command and then join it 4) With passt we'll create a new user namespace when we sandbox() ourself However (3) and (4) turn out to have essentially the same effect. In both cases we create one new user namespace. The spawned command starts there, and passt/pasta itself will live there from sandbox() onwards. Because of this, we can simplify user namespace handling by moving the userns handling earlier, to the same point we drop root in the original namespace. Extend the drop_user() function to isolate_user() which does both. After switching UID and GID in the original userns, isolate_user() will either join or create the userns we require. When we spawn a command with pasta_start_ns()/pasta_setup_ns() we no longer need to create a userns, because we're already made one. sandbox() likewise no longer needs to create (or join) an userns because we're already in the one we need. We no longer need c->pasta_userns_fd, since the fd is only used locally in isolate_user(). Likewise we can replace c->netns_only with a local in conf(), since it's not used outside there.
