Merge tag 'vfs-6.11-rc1.fixes.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains two fixes for this merge window:
VFS:
- I noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount most
filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.
When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's
namespace is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file
descriptor is then passed to a process privileged in init_user_ns,
that process can call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE*),
creating a new superblock with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace
of the process which called fsopen().
This is problematic as only filesystems that raise FS_USERNS_MOUNT
are known to be able to support a non-initial s_user_ns. Others may
suffer security issues, on-disk corruption or outright crash the
kernel. Prevent that by restricting such delegation to filesystems
that allow FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
Note, that this delegation requires a privileged process to
actually create the superblock so either the privileged process is
cooperaing or someone must have tricked a privileged process into
operating on a fscontext file descriptor whose origin it doesn't
know (a stupid idea).
The bug dates back to about 5 years afaict.
Misc:
- Fix hostfs parsing when the mount request comes in via the legacy
mount api.
In the legacy mount api hostfs allows to specify the host directory
mount without any key.
Restore that behavior"
