From f028f2d73293b65a5e58ee7468a8683b39fd912c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 18:26:30 -0600 Subject: userns: Check euid no fsuid when establishing an unprivileged uid mapping commit 80dd00a23784b384ccea049bfb3f259d3f973b9d upstream. setresuid allows the euid to be set to any of uid, euid, suid, and fsuid. Therefor it is safe to allow an unprivileged user to map their euid and use CAP_SETUID privileged with exactly that uid, as no new credentials can be obtained. I can not find a combination of existing system calls that allows setting uid, euid, suid, and fsuid from the fsuid making the previous use of fsuid for allowing unprivileged mappings a bug. This is part of a fix for CVE-2014-8989. Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
