Subject: umount: Disallow unprivileged mount force
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
commit b2f5d4dc38e034eecb7987e513255265ff9aa1cf upstream.
Forced unmount affects not just the mount namespace but the underlying
superblock as well. Restrict forced unmount to the global root user
for now. Otherwise it becomes possible a user in a less privileged
mount namespace to force the shutdown of a superblock of a filesystem
in a more privileged mount namespace, allowing a DOS attack on root.
