Subject: [PATCH 2/2] openat2: add OA2_INHERIT_CRED flag
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 13:48:24 +0300

This flag performs the open operation with the credentials that
were in effect when dir_fd was opened.
This allows the process to pre-open some directories and then
change eUID (and all other UIDs/GIDs) to a less-privileged user,
retaining the ability to open/create files within these directories.

Design goal:
The idea is to provide a very light-weight sandboxing, where the
process, without the use of any heavy-weight techniques like chroot
within namespaces, can restrict the access to the set of pre-opened
directories.
This patch is just a first step to such sandboxing. If things go
well, in the future the same extension can be added to more syscalls.
These should include at least unlinkat(), renameat2() and the
not-yet-upstreamed setxattrat().

Security considerations:
To avoid sandboxing escape, this patch makes sure the restricted
lookup modes are used. Namely, RESOLVE_BENEATH or RESOLVE_IN_ROOT.
To avoid leaking creds across exec, this patch requires O_CLOEXEC
flag on a directory.

Use cases:
Virtual machines that deal with untrusted code, can use that
instead of a more heavy-weighted approaches.
Currently the approach is being tested on a dosemu2 VM.
