Following are two patches which have been sitting for some time in -mm.
The first implements file capabilities, the second changes the format a
bit to accomodate potential future 64-bit capabilities.
We are hoping to get a few more eyes on the code before deciding whether
this is safe to finally push up. There are no real objections to the
code at the moment, but the lack of serious review, especially by
filesystems experts, is somewhat worrying. If you have some time,
please do take a look.
Appended to this email are two programs which can be used for testing.
One is the actual test program, and one is a victim who gets his file
capabilities set by, and executed by, the main test program.
Compile using
gcc -o testfscaps testfscaps.c -lcap
gcc -o print_caps print_caps.c -lcap
then run
./testfscaps 0
./testfscaps 1 eff
./testfscaps 1 perm
./testfscaps 1 inh
./testfscaps 2
Test 0 makes sure that non-root can't write file capability xattrs.
Test 1 checks various edge cases of xattr lengths and values
Test 2 checks valid xattr values and makes sure the binary with
those values runs with the expected caps. Compare the value which
testfscaps says it set on print_caps with the values printed by
print_caps.
thanks,
