3:37 p.m.
Normally when a process' uid is changed to non-0, all the capabilities
bits are cleared, even those explicitly set with calls to
capng_update()/capng_apply() made immediately before setuid. And
*after* the process' uid has been changed, it no longer has the
necessary privileges to add capabilities back to the process.
In order to set a non-0 uid while still maintaining any capabilities
bits, it is necessary to either call capng_change_id() (which
unfortunately doesn't not currently call initgroups to setup auxiliary
group membership), or to perform the small amount of calisthenics
contained in the new utility function virSetUIDGIDWithCaps().
A short description of what is done:
1) clear all capabilities then set all those desired by the caller (in
capBits) plus CAP_SETGID, CAP_SETUID, and CAP_SETPCAP (which is needed
to change the capabilities bounding set).
2) call prctl(), telling it that we want to maintain current
capabilities across an upcoming setuid().
3) switch to the new uid/gid
4) again call prctl(), telling it we will no longer want capabilities
maintained if this process does another setuid().
5) clear the capabilities that we added to allow us to
setuid/setgid/change the bounding set (unless they were also requested
by the caller via the virCommand API).
Because the modification/maintaining of capabilities is intermingled
with setting the uid, this is necessarily done in a single function,
rather than having two independent functions.
Note that, due to the way that effective capabilities are computed (at
time of execve) for a process that has uid != 0, the *file*
capabilities of the binary being executed must also have the desired
capabilities bit(s) set (see "man 7 capabilities"). This can be done
with the "filecap" command
(e.g. "filecap /usr/bin/qemu-kvm sys_rawio").
