Summary
rootless: `/sys/fs/cgroup` is writable when cgroupns isn't unshared in runc
Details
Impact
It was found that rootless runc makes /sys/fs/cgroup
writable in following conditons:
1. when runc is executed inside the user namespace, and the config.json
does not specify the cgroup namespace to be unshared (e.g.., (docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=host
, with Rootless Docker/Podman/nerdctl)
2. or, when runc is executed outside the user namespace, and /sys
is mounted with rbind, ro
(e.g., runc spec --rootless
; this condition is very rare)
A container may gain the write access to user-owned cgroup hierarchy /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/...
on the host .
Other users's cgroup hierarchies are not affected.
Patches
v1.1.5 (planned)
Workarounds
- Condition 1: Unshare the cgroup namespace (
(docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=private)
. This is the default behavior of Docker/Podman/nerdctl on cgroup v2 hosts. - Condition 2 (very rare): add
/sys/fs/cgroup
