Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Fixes for new user namespace detaching procedure
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 23:04:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002210411.2522002-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

Commit 7bf1595c9242 ("isolation: Don't create our userns as nobody")
changed the procedure user namespaces are detached, also for passt,
and adds unconditional setting of UID and GID maps.

This needs AppArmor adjustments:

- rules to access gid_map, uid_map, and setgroups entries in procfs
  now need to be enabled for passt as well, not just for pasta: move
  them to the passt abstraction (which is included from the pasta
  abstraction)

- we now need to open a user namespace originally detached by a
  separate holder process, which requires us to open procfs entries
  that are disconnected (from an AppArmor perspective) from the
  original namespace: add the attach_disconnected flag to the profile
  for passt as well (this was already the case for pasta).

  This isn't ideal but there doesn't seem any way around it: opening
  the namespace from the holder process itself doesn't help either.

  We'll need to add this flag also in passt subprofiles for
  guestfs-tools (maintained in Debian) and libvirtd (which only
  applies when guests are started as root for the moment, maintained
  by libvirt upstream).
