[patch] unprivileged mounts update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>

- refine adding "nosuid" and "nodev" flags for unprivileged mounts:
    o add "nosuid", only if mounter doesn't have CAP_SETUID capability
    o add "nodev", only if mounter doesn't have CAP_MKNOD capability

- allow unprivileged forced unmount, but only for FS_SAFE filesystems

- allow mounting over special files, but not symlinks

- for mounting and umounting check "fsuid" instead of "ruid"

Thanks to everyone for the comments, with special thanks to Serge
Hallyn and Eric Biederman.

For testing the new functionality provided by this patchset a simple
tool similar in syntax to mount(8) is available from:
