CAP_NET_ADMIN allows to configure network interfaces, not CAP_SYS_ADMIN which only allows to call unshare(2). Without this change, running network tests as a non-root user but with all capabilities would fail at the setup_loopback() step with "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted". The issue is only visible when running tests with non-root users (i.e. only relying on ambient capabilities). Indeed, when configuring the network interface, the "ip" command is called, which may lead to the special handling of capabilities for the root user by execve(2). If root is the caller, then the inherited, permitted and effective capabilities are all reset, which then includes CAP_NET_ADMIN. However, if a non-root user is the caller, then ambient capabilities are masked by the inherited ones, which were explicitly dropped. To make execution deterministic whatever users are running the tests, set the noroot secure bit for each test, and set the inheritable and ambient capabilities to CAP_NET_ADMIN, the only capability that may be required after an execve(2). Factor out _effective_cap() into _change_cap(), and use it to manage ambient capabilities with the new set_ambient_cap() and clear_ambient_cap() helpers. This makes it possible to run all Landlock tests with check-linux.sh from https://github.com/landlock-lsm/landlock-test-tools Cc: Konstantin Meskhidze <konstantin.meskhidze@huawei.com> Fixes: a549d055 ("selftests/landlock: Add network tests") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240125153230.3817165-2-mic@digikod.net [mic: Make sure SECBIT_NOROOT_LOCKED is set] Signed-off-by: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>
