write_mapping() will do the following:
openat(proc_dir_fd, map_file, O_WRONLY);
An attacker could create a directory containing a symlink named
"uid_map" pointing to any file owned by root, and thus allow him to
overwrite any root-owned file.
Closes#635
newuidmap and newgidmap currently take an integner pid as
the first argument, determining the process id on which to
act. Accept also "fd:N", where N must be an open file
descriptor to the /proc/pid directory for the process to
act upon. This way, if you
exec 10</proc/99
newuidmap fd:10 100000 0 65536
and pid 99 dies and a new process happens to take pid 99 before
newuidmap happens to do its work, then since newuidmap will use
openat() using fd 10, it won't change the mapping for the new
process.
Example:
// terminal 1:
serge@jerom ~/src/nsexec$ ./nsexec -W -s 0 -S 0 -U
about to unshare with 10000000
Press any key to exec (I am 129176)
// terminal 2:
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ exec 10</proc/129176
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chown root src/newuidmap src/newgidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chmod u+s src/newuidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ sudo chmod u+s src/newgidmap
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ ./src/newuidmap fd:10 0 100000 10
serge@jerom ~/src/shadow$ ./src/newgidmap fd:10 0 100000 10
// Terminal 1:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).
