SubjectRE: [PATCH]: non-readable binaries - binfmt_misc 2.6.0
Date
From
> can you send a version which isn't all wordwrapped?
>

i prepared a patch that solves a couple of problems that interpreters
have when invoked via binfmt_misc. currently -
1) such interpreters cannot open non-readable binaries
2) the processes will have their credentials and security attributes
calculated according to interpreter permissions and not those of the
original binary

the proposed patch solves these problems by -
1) opening the binary on behalf of the interpreter and passing its fd
instead of the path as argv[1] to the interpreter
2) calling prepare_binprm with the file struct of the binary and not the
one of the interpreter

new functionality is enabled by adding a special flag to the
registration string. if this flag is not added then old behavior is not
changed.

preliminary version of this patch was sent to the list on 9/1/2003 with
the title "[PATCH]: non-readable binaries - binfmt_misc 2.6.0-test4".
this new version fixes the concerns that were raised by the patch,
except of calling unshare_files() before allocating a new fd. this is
because this feature did not enter 2.6 yet.

the patch is against 2.6.0 -
