2024-05-10Revert "examples/chroottar.py: harden against tars with high uids"Helmut Grohne
This reverts commit a169f51420795a212c3226f455e783ab8ac5cf47. We really deal with two user namespaces. The initial/parent process maps the target id range plus the current user id. The child process that executes the workload only maps the target id range without the current user id. The child opens the tar file while it still is in the initial namespace, then unshares and once it only has the subid range mapped, it performs the extraction. No clamping is necessary at this point. The parent process maps additionally maps the current id in order to write the tar file.
2024-05-09add linuxnamespaces.tarinfo.XAttrTarFileHelmut Grohne
This is a mixin subclass for TarFile that enables it to restore and apply linux extended attributes as PAX headers in the SCHILY.xattr.* format. As a consequence, this enables us to process tar archives containing file system capabilities.
2024-05-09add linuxnamespaces.tarutilsHelmut Grohne
Move the generic tar utilities from the chroottar.py example into a linuxnamespaces module as dealing with tar archives is a fairly common thing when dealing with namespaces.
2024-05-06chroottar.py: don't raise NotImplementedError for misuseHelmut Grohne
The mode actually can only have these three distinct literals. While more complex modes can get passed to TarFile.open, they're decomposed there and only of these three is passed to the compressor openers.
2024-05-06chroottar.py: implement Tarfile.zstopen for fileobjHelmut Grohne
zstandard.open actually consumes file objects. Hence there is little benefit in not implementing the passing of a fileobj even though we don't use it here.

2024-01-27examples/chroottar.py: allow opening non-zstd tarsHelmut Grohne
When decompression fails, we should raise a tarfile.ReadError rather than a zstandard.ZstdError. Otherwise, tarfile gives up guessing.
2024-01-26improve examples/chroottar.pyHelmut Grohne
* Drop supplementary groups. Very likely, those are not mapped inside and they cannot cause much good. * Sane permission for the root directory. Otherwise no non-root user can access any files.
2024-01-25examples/chroottar.py: work when TMPDIR is privateHelmut Grohne
When TMPDIR has restrictive permissions, the namespace may be unable to access the leading components. Thus we put the supervisor process handling the cleanup into a different namespace that has all the ids plus the current uid mapped. It'll then be able to perform the cleanup (and the initial chown).
