Eric Paris aa4af831bb AUDIT: Allow login in non-init namespaces ... It its possible to configure your PAM stack to refuse login if audit messages (about the login) were unable to be sent. This is common in many distros and thus normal configuration of many containers. The PAM modules determine if audit is enabled/disabled in the kernel based on the return value from sending an audit message on the netlink socket. If userspace gets back ECONNREFUSED it believes audit is disabled in the kernel. If it gets any other error else it refuses to let the login proceed. Just about ever since the introduction of namespaces the kernel audit subsystem has returned EPERM if the task sending a message was not in the init user or pid namespace. So many forms of containers have never worked if audit was enabled in the kernel. BUT if the container was not in net_init then the kernel network code would send ECONNREFUSED (instead of the audit code sending EPERM). Thus by pure accident/dumb luck/bug if an admin configured the PAM stack to reject all logins that didn't talk to audit, but then ran the login untility in the non-init_net namespace, it would work!! Clearly this was a bug, but it is a bug some people expected. With the introduction of network namespace support in 3.14-rc1 the two bugs stopped cancelling each other out. Now, containers in the non-init_net namespace refused to let users log in (just like PAM was configfured!) Obviously some people were not happy that what used to let users log in, now didn't! This fix is kinda hacky. We return ECONNREFUSED for all non-init relevant namespaces. That means that not only will the old broken non-init_net setups continue to work, now the broken non-init_pid or non-init_user setups will 'work'. They don't really work, since audit isn't logging things. But it's what most users want. In 3.15 we should have patches to support not only the non-init_net (3.14) namespace but also the non-init_pid and non-init_user namespace. So all will be right in the world. This just opens the doors wide open on 3.14 and hopefully makes users happy, if not the audit system...
