From: Richa Marwaha <rmarwah(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
QEMU has a new feature which allows QEMU to execute under an unprivileged user ID and
still be able to
add a tap device to a Linux network bridge. Below is the link to the QEMU patches for the
bridge helper
feature:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-01/msg03562.html
The existing libvirt tap network device support for adding a tap device to a bridge
(-netdev tap) works
only when connected to a libvirtd instance running as the privileged system account
'root'.
When connected to a libvirtd instance running as an unprivileged user (ie. using the
session URI) creation of
the tap device fails as follows:
error: Failed to start domain F14_64 error: Unable to create tap device vnet%d: Operation
not permitted
With this support, creating a tap device in the above scenario will be possible.
Additionally, hot attaching
a tap device to a bridge while running when connected to a libvirtd instance running as an
unprivileged user
will be possible.

I think we want both capabilities set as QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV is used later
in the code. Moreover, QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV_BRIDGE is just refined version
of QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV. That is, if QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV_BRIDGE is set,
QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV must be supported as well.

New subject: [libvirt] [Patch v2 3/3] apparmor: QEMU bridge helper policy updates
From: Richa Marwaha <rmarwah(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch provides AppArmor policy updates for the QEMU bridge helper.
The QEMU bridge helper is a SUID executable exec'd by QEMU that drops
capabilities to CAP_NET_ADMIN and adds a tap device to a network bridge.

Looking at the child profile itself, this seems fine.
However, the Cx transition makes it so that all libvirt-managed qemu
processes are allowed to execute this setuid helper and I wonder if that
is too much? Ie, a guest running under libvirt's NAT wouldn't need
access to this helper at all. I wonder if it would be better to adjust
virt-aa-helper to add this transition and child profile instead (the
child profile could theoretically still be in apparmor/libvirt-qemu, but
this is a bit messy)? Can we determine from the domain XML the
circumstances when /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper will be used? If so,
virt-aa-helper could add the access only then. As a side-benefit,
handling this in virt-aa-helper allows us at compile-time to adjust the
path to qemu-bridge-helper to use the configured path to the binary (ie,
some distros may not use /usr/libexec).

Thanks a lot reviewing the apparmor patch. We cannot detemine from the

because we cannot determine whether we are running as privileged user
or not. Is there a way we can specify the configured path to the
binary in the current policy we have?

Thanks a lot reviewing the apparmor patch. We cannot detemine from the
domain XML whether /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper will be used or not
because we cannot determine whether we are running as privileged user
or not.
Hmmm, that's too bad.
Is there a way we can specify the configured path to the
binary in the current policy we have?
Not in a convenient way, no. The policy is intended as example policy
anyway, and distributions are expected to modify this, so I don't think
this alone is a blocker.

Right now the only way we can think of is that whenever in domain XML
we see interface=bridge
we set the policy for the qemu-bridge-helper even though we don't know
if the qemu-bridge-helper
is going to be used or not.

Ah, well, that would at least be somewhat better and IMHO, worthwhile.

Ah, well, that would at least be somewhat better and IMHO, worthwhile.
Hi Jamie
I started testing out the policy generation with the approach that if
it checks inteface=bridge then only we generate
the qemu-bridge-helper policies. I found 2 issues while trying to do that
1) There are a lot of ways to start bridge helper and the way libvirt
is starting it is using -netdev bridge br=br0 and the executable
is started by the qemu and not libvirt. So the way I can think of
changing the path at compile time is to search for the executable in
/usr/. Not being a big fan of this approach for searching the executable.
2) The second issue that I face is the generation of the child profile
as virt-aa-helper creates a profile with -uuid and the virt-aa-helper
appends the libvirt-uuid.files. Is there a way in virt-aa-helper that
we could do the generation of child profile in libvirt-uuid profile?

Richa

That would translate to something like:

Can you add a new tag to the domain XML that allows specification of
the helper executable path? For example, adding <helper>:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<helper='/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper' />
</interface>
That would translate to something like:
qemu-kvm -netdev
bridge,helper=/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper,br=br0,id=xyz -device
...
Corey I can add the tag but the domain xml gets the information from
the installation of the guest (correct me if I am wrong in this
thought).
I did think of adding a new member in the bridge definition currently
it has 3 members brname, ipaddr and virtPortProfile. But I would still
have to do the search for the qemu-bridge-helper.

Well, with the code in patch 1/3 and 2/3, if the actualinterface is
type='bridge', and libvirt is running unprivileged
(!driver->privileged), and the qemu capabilities has
QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV_BRIDGE, then the qemu-helper will definitely be used.

Can you add a new tag to the domain XML that allows specification of
the helper executable path? For example, adding <helper>:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<helper='/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper' />
</interface>
That's a bit opaque about its meaning, and I'm not sure it has a place
at this location in the XML - who (I mean "what person") is going to
determine the location of the bridge helper, and decide that it's even
needed? Especially since the idea here is to allow unprivileged users to
get full networking functionality, this config will be provided by an
unprivileged user - is there any risk in allowing an unprivileged user
to specify this binary's path? (other than the possibility they'll
misunderstand it and simply get it wrong, that is)
On the other hand, I think it will be useful to have *something* in the
XML that indicates this interface wants to use the qemu-helper method of
attaching to the bridge, for a reason that will come at the end of the
message:
To step back a bit and change the topic slightly (but it leads to the
"reason" I mention above :-):
My reservation about this patch series is that I want to be sure that it
is "future proof" in the eventuality that other methods of achieving the
same goal (proper networking support for guests started by
non-privileged users) become available.
In my opinion, having qemu execute a suid binary isn't the proper way to
solve the problem (however, it's currently the only way available), and
I'm hoping that eventually libvirt can be enhanced to achieve the
desired results in a different manner.
In particular, the problems I see with the qemu helper binary are:
1) A lot of time and trouble has been spent minimizing the capabilities
of qemu in order to reduce the amount of damage that could be done by a
compromised qemu process. The suid binary provides a way to "break out".
True it is a small and limited binary, but "low risk" does not mean "no
risk".
2) the text-file-based ACLs it uses will be cumbersome to manage (and
definitely outside the scope of libvirt). This really should be done by
policykit instead of home-grown ACL files.
3) the qemu helper binary can only handle creating a tap device and
connecting it to a bridge. It can't handle macvtap interfaces, libvirt's
virtual networks (unless the user just happens to know the name of the
bridge used for that interface), openvswitch bridges, nwfilter rules,
bandwidth limiting, 802.1Qb[gh]... You get the picture - there is a
*lot* of functionality that's off the table if the qemu helper binary is
used (unless it gains a lot of features and becomes hopelessly
intertwined with libvirt, and I don't think anyone wants that).
The way that I think the problem should be solved is this:
1) All of the network-related functionality in the system instance of
libvirt that is used by the qemu, lxc, etc. drivers internal to libvirt
(including the nwfilter subsystem, and everything in bridge_driver.c)
should be in a separate daemon from libvirtd, and made available via RPC
with a public API that uses policykit for authorization/authentication,
with separate selinux policies from libvirtd; maybe call it
"libvirt-networkd".
2) When the system instance of libvirtd is creating a domain, it should
call to libvirt-networkd via this API to do things like create a tap
device, connect it to a bridge, add nwfilter rules, etc.
3) likewise, when a session (unprivileged) instance of libvirt is
creating a domain, it also should call the same APIs, which (after
proper authentication/authorization via policykit) will connect it to
the privileged libvirt-networkd (or whatever its called) to perform the
operation.
The result will be that a guest created by an unprivileged user will
(dependent on policykit granting access) have access to *all* of the
network functionality that is available to a guest started by the system
libvirt instance, including libvirt's virtual networks, macvtap
interfaces, nwfilter rules, bandwidth limiting, etc. And managing who
gets access to what will be done in the same way as any other resource
gated by policykit. Additionally, libvirtd will no longer need many of
the capabilities/policies it currently needs to permit setting up the
networking (just as libvirt-networkd won't need all the
capabilities/policies required by libvirtd to handle other functions of
managing a guest's lifecycle).
So, how does this relate to my desire to see something in the XML
indicating that this interface should use the qemu helper? Well, I'm
thinking ahead to the day when the work I've outlined above is completed
- when it is included in a libvirt release, there will be people who
have guests with network configs that work thanks to the presence of the
qemu-helper support and an entry in the qemu-helper's ACL file. If they
upgrade their libvirt and their config stops working (due to their uid
not being authorized by policykit), they won't be happy. On the other
hand, once this more comprehensive solution is available, it should be
preferred by default. In order for that to be the case, we need to have
some sort of tag in the XML *now* that indicates "use the qemu-helper",
and otherwise pretend that it doesn't exist. That way when those people
upgrade, even though the new method of setting up networking (which may
not work without config changes) will be available, libvirt will
understand it should continue to use the "old" method for this
particular guest.

I wonder if the quantum project [1], which IIUC provides a lot of the

functionality you describe, could be used as "libvirtd-networkd".
Not as long its its a big mass of python. On the contrary, Quantum could
use libvirt's APIs.

Well, with the code in patch 1/3 and 2/3, if the actualinterface is
type='bridge', and libvirt is running unprivileged
(!driver->privileged), and the qemu capabilities has
QEMU_CAPS_NETDEV_BRIDGE, then the qemu-helper will definitely be used.

That's a bit opaque about its meaning, and I'm not sure it has a place
at this location in the XML - who (I mean "what person") is going to
determine the location of the bridge helper, and decide that it's even
needed? Especially since the idea here is to allow unprivileged users to
get full networking functionality, this config will be provided by an
unprivileged user - is there any risk in allowing an unprivileged user
to specify this binary's path? (other than the possibility they'll
misunderstand it and simply get it wrong, that is)
On the other hand, I think it will be useful to have *something* in the
XML that indicates this interface wants to use the qemu-helper method of
attaching to the bridge, for a reason that will come at the end of the
message:
To step back a bit and change the topic slightly (but it leads to the
"reason" I mention above :-):
My reservation about this patch series is that I want to be sure that it
is "future proof" in the eventuality that other methods of achieving the
same goal (proper networking support for guests started by
non-privileged users) become available.
In my opinion, having qemu execute a suid binary isn't the proper way to
solve the problem (however, it's currently the only way available), and
I'm hoping that eventually libvirt can be enhanced to achieve the
desired results in a different manner.
In particular, the problems I see with the qemu helper binary are:
1) A lot of time and trouble has been spent minimizing the capabilities
of qemu in order to reduce the amount of damage that could be done by a
compromised qemu process. The suid binary provides a way to "break out".
True it is a small and limited binary, but "low risk" does not mean "no
risk".
2) the text-file-based ACLs it uses will be cumbersome to manage (and
definitely outside the scope of libvirt). This really should be done by
policykit instead of home-grown ACL files.
3) the qemu helper binary can only handle creating a tap device and
connecting it to a bridge. It can't handle macvtap interfaces, libvirt's
virtual networks (unless the user just happens to know the name of the
bridge used for that interface), openvswitch bridges, nwfilter rules,
bandwidth limiting, 802.1Qb[gh]... You get the picture - there is a
*lot* of functionality that's off the table if the qemu helper binary is
used (unless it gains a lot of features and becomes hopelessly
intertwined with libvirt, and I don't think anyone wants that).
The way that I think the problem should be solved is this:
1) All of the network-related functionality in the system instance of
libvirt that is used by the qemu, lxc, etc. drivers internal to libvirt
(including the nwfilter subsystem, and everything in bridge_driver.c)
should be in a separate daemon from libvirtd, and made available via RPC
with a public API that uses policykit for authorization/authentication,
with separate selinux policies from libvirtd; maybe call it
"libvirt-networkd".
2) When the system instance of libvirtd is creating a domain, it should
call to libvirt-networkd via this API to do things like create a tap
device, connect it to a bridge, add nwfilter rules, etc.
3) likewise, when a session (unprivileged) instance of libvirt is
creating a domain, it also should call the same APIs, which (after
proper authentication/authorization via policykit) will connect it to
the privileged libvirt-networkd (or whatever its called) to perform the
operation.
The result will be that a guest created by an unprivileged user will
(dependent on policykit granting access) have access to *all* of the
network functionality that is available to a guest started by the system
libvirt instance, including libvirt's virtual networks, macvtap
interfaces, nwfilter rules, bandwidth limiting, etc. And managing who
gets access to what will be done in the same way as any other resource
gated by policykit. Additionally, libvirtd will no longer need many of
the capabilities/policies it currently needs to permit setting up the
networking (just as libvirt-networkd won't need all the
capabilities/policies required by libvirtd to handle other functions of
managing a guest's lifecycle).
So, how does this relate to my desire to see something in the XML
indicating that this interface should use the qemu helper? Well, I'm
thinking ahead to the day when the work I've outlined above is completed
- when it is included in a libvirt release, there will be people who
have guests with network configs that work thanks to the presence of the
qemu-helper support and an entry in the qemu-helper's ACL file. If they
upgrade their libvirt and their config stops working (due to their uid
not being authorized by policykit), they won't be happy. On the other
hand, once this more comprehensive solution is available, it should be
preferred by default. In order for that to be the case, we need to have
some sort of tag in the XML *now* that indicates "use the qemu-helper",
and otherwise pretend that it doesn't exist. That way when those people
upgrade, even though the new method of setting up networking (which may
not work without config changes) will be available, libvirt will
understand it should continue to use the "old" method for this
particular guest.
That sounds like a good future direction that you've outlined.
At this point I wonder if we might be able to get away with no XML
modifications since we know that we only want to attempt to run the
helper when libvirt is running unprivileged.

I certainly don't expect there to be any changes to the XML for the
purposes of supporting this QEMU bridge helper proxy. It should be
automatically used when type=bridge or type=network on the
<interface>, as a private implementation detail of libvirt not
exposed to applications in the XML. When libvirt changes to
separate its nework setup code out of libvirtd, then we will be able
to transparently stop using the proxy helper.

I would greatly prefer that as well, as long as nobody is bothered by
the potential upgrade problem I outlined in my previous mail - if there
is config required outside libvirt to enable particular users to use the
qemu helper, and if there is also extra config required to enable the
capability for users when libvirt no longer requires the qemu helper,
there could be cases where a working config would cease to work (until
extra measures were taken) after an upgrade.
If that situation is acceptable, then I also agree that no XML
modifications is much better.

Ah, well, that would at least be somewhat better and IMHO, worthwhile.
Hi Jamie
As we discussed earlier that we cannot determine from the domain XML
whether the user is
privileged or not to have the generation of the apparmor policy for
qemu-bridge-helper. One
main purpose of doing this was to get the adjustment of the path of
the qemu-bridge-helper as
some distros don't have /usr/libexec. So I tried to have the
generation of the policies be done
when we see interface = bridge in the domain XML. In the process of
doing so it comes out that
there is not a good way to determine the location of the
qemu-bridge-helper other than the fact that
it is hard-coded in the virt-aa-helper code. Also could not find a
good way to have the generation of the child profile for
qemu-bridge-helper apparmor policy.
Since we have to hard-code the path of the executable I would suggest
that we keep the apparmor policies for
qemu-bridge-helper in libvirt-qemu only.
Kindly let me know your thoughts.
Regards
Richa
