James Peach commented on MESOS-7476: ------------------------------------ {quote} Even if we clear the task's effective/permitted/inheritable capabilities, the task can still gain those capabilities by exec'ing some crafted binary in the image? {quote} Yes, that is correct. The task can gain privilege be executing files with capabilities attached as long as it has those capabilities in its bounding set. > Restrict capabilities to only the bounding set. > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-7476 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7476 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Components: containerization > Reporter: James Peach > Assignee: James Peach > > As a security improvement, it would be useful to be able to set the bounding > capability set without also granting those capabilities. This is what the > {{--allowed_capabilities}} flag sounds like it does. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
