lxc-monitord instances are spawned on demand and, if this
happens from a service, the daemon is considered part of
it by systemd, as it is running in the same cgroups. This
can be avoided by leaving it running permanently.

The previous API doesn't reflect the fact that
`seccomp_notif` and `seccomp_notif_resp` are allocatd
dynamically with sizes figured out at runtime.
We now query the sizes via the seccomp(2) syscall and change
`struct seccomp_notify_proxy_msg` to contain the sizes
instead of the data, with the data following afterwards.
Additionally it did not provide a convenient way to identify
the container the message originated from, for which we now
include a cookie configured via `lxc.seccomp.notify.cookie`.
Since we currently always send exactly one request and await
the response immediately, verify the `id` in the client's
response.
Finally, the proxy message's "version" field is removed, and
we reserve 64 bits in its place.

This hardens multi-threaded C. Without it, the implementation of thread
cancellation handlers (introduced by pthread_cleanup_push) uses a completely
unprotected function pointer on the stack. This function pointer can simplify
the exploitation of stack-based buffer overflows even if the thread in question
is never canceled.

Adam Iwaniuk and Borys Popławski discovered that an attacker can compromise the
runC host binary from inside a privileged runC container. As a result, this
could be exploited to gain root access on the host. runC is used as the default
runtime for containers with Docker, containerd, Podman, and CRI-O.
The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when starting a
container running a specially crafted image. For example, when runC attaches
to a container the attacker can trick it into executing itself. This could be
done by replacing the target binary inside the container with a custom binary
pointing back at the runC binary itself. As an example, if the target binary
was /bin/bash, this could be replaced with an executable script specifying the
interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe (/proc/self/exec is a symbolic link created
by the kernel for every process which points to the binary that was executed
for that process). As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container,
instead the target of /proc/self/exe will be executed - which will point to the
runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed to write to the target
of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the runC binary on the host. However in
general, this will not succeed as the kernel will not permit it to be
overwritten whilst runC is executing. To overcome this, the attacker can
instead open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and then
proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to
write to it in a busy loop from a separate process. Ultimately it will succeed
when the runC binary exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can
be used to attack other containers or the host itself.
This attack is only possible with privileged containers since it requires root
privilege on the host to overwrite the runC binary. Unprivileged containers
with a non-identity ID mapping do not have the permission to write to the host
binary and therefore are unaffected by this attack.
LXC is also impacted in a similar manner by this vulnerability, however as the
LXC project considers privileged containers to be unsafe no CVE has been
assigned for this issue for LXC. Quoting from the
https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/security/ project's Security information page:
"As privileged containers are considered unsafe, we typically will not consider
new container escape exploits to be security issues worthy of a CVE and quick
fix. We will however try to mitigate those issues so that accidental damage to
the host is prevented."
To prevent this attack, LXC has been patched to create a temporary copy of the
calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to containers. To do this LXC
creates an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and
copies itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to
prevent further modifications. LXC then executes this sealed, in-memory file
instead of the original on-disk binary. Any compromising write operations from
a privileged container to the host LXC binary will then write to the temporary
in-memory binary and not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity
of the host LXC binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory LXC binary is sealed,
writes to this will also fail.
Note: memfd_create() was added to the Linux kernel in the 3.17 release.
