Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] tiocsti-restrict : Add owner user namespace to
tty_struct
Quoting Matt Brown (matt@...tt.com):
> This patch adds struct user_namespace *owner_user_ns to the tty_struct.
> Then it is set to current_user_ns() in the alloc_tty_struct function.
>
> This is done to facilitate capability checks against the original user
> namespace that allocated the tty.
>
> E.g. ns_capable(tty->owner_user_ns,CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
>
> This combined with the use of user namespace's will allow hardening
> protections to be built to mitigate container escapes that utilize TTY
> ioctls such as TIOCSTI.
