Description

openat2 landed in Linux 5.6, but unfortunately (though it does make it easier to implement safer container runtimes) there are still quite a few remaining tricks that attackers can use to attack container runtimes. This talk will give a quick overview of the remaining issues, some proposals for how we might fix them, and how libpathrs will make use of them. In addition, a brief update on libpathrs will be given.

Examples of attacks include:

  • Fake /proc mounts.
  • Bind-mounting on top of magic-links (such as /proc/$pid/attr/exec).
