X-Git-Tag: v3.18-rc1~49 X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ef3a56b1c466629cd0bf482b09c7b0e5a085bb5;p=linux-2.6-block.git Merge branch 'CVE-2014-7975' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/luto/linux Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski: "This fix really ought to be safe. Inside a mountns owned by a non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs could be exposed). In that case, calling umount on "/" will return -EINVAL with or without this patch. Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect. may_mount, required by umount, already checks ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect. That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns while chrooted. This is the case that is currently broken (it remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to -EPERM. If anything relies on *that*, I'd be surprised" * 'CVE-2014-7975' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux: fs: Add a missing permission check to do_umount --- 0ef3a56b1c466629cd0bf482b09c7b0e5a085bb5
