In case there is a regular user with a process running on a system
with uid falling into a namespaced uid range of another user.
The user with the colliding namespaced uid range will not be
allowed to be deleted without forcing the action with -f.
The user_busy() is adjusted to check whether the suspected process
is really a namespaced process in a different namespace.
With this, it is possible for Linux distributors to store their
supplied default configuration files somewhere below /usr, while
/etc only contains the changes made by the user. The new option
--enable-vendordir defines where the shadow suite should additional
look for login.defs if this file is not in /etc.
libeconf is a key/value configuration file reading library, which
handles the split of configuration files in different locations
and merges them transparently for the application.
new switch added to useradd command, --btrfs-subvolume-home. When
specified *and* the filesystem is detected as btrfs, it will create a
subvolume for user's home instead of a plain directory. This is done via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Specifying the new switch while trying to
create home on non-btrfs will result in an error.
userdel -r will handle and remove this subvolume transparently via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Previosuly this failed as you can't rmdir a
subvolume.
usermod, when moving user's home across devices, will detect if the home
is a subvolume and issue an error messages instead of copying it. Moving
user's home (as subvolume) on same btrfs works transparently.

simplify the condition for setting the euid of the process. Now it is
always set when we are running as root, the issue was introduced with
the commit 52c081b02c
Changelog: 2018-11-24 - seh - enforce that euid only gets set to ruid if
it currently == 0 (i.e. really was setuid-*root*).

Commit 1ecca8439d ("new[ug]idmap: not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the parent userNS")
does contain a wrong commit message, is lacking an explanation of the
issue, misses some simplifications and hardening features. This commit
tries to rectify this.
In (crazy) environment where all capabilities are dropped from the
capability bounding set apart from CAP_SET{G,U}ID setuid- and
fscaps-based new{g,u}idmap binaries behave differently when writing
complex mappings for an unprivileged user:
1. newuidmap is setuid
unshare -U sleep infinity &
newuidmap $? 0 100000 65536
First file_ns_capable(file, ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) is hit. This calls into
cap_capable() and hits the loop
for (;;) {
/* Do we have the necessary capabilities? */
if (ns == cred->user_ns)
return cap_raised(cred->cap_effective, cap) ? 0 : -EPERM;
/*
* If we're already at a lower level than we're looking for,
* we're done searching.
*/
if (ns->level <= cred->user_ns->level)
return -EPERM;
/*
* The owner of the user namespace in the parent of the
* user namespace has all caps.
*/
if ((ns->parent == cred->user_ns) && uid_eq(ns->owner, cred->euid))
return 0;
/*
* If you have a capability in a parent user ns, then you have
* it over all children user namespaces as well.
*/
ns = ns->parent;
}
The first check fails and falls through to the end of the loop and
retrieves the parent user namespace and checks whether CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
available there which isn't.
2. newuidmap has CAP_SETUID as fscaps set
unshare -U sleep infinity &
newuidmap $? 0 100000 65536
The first file_ns_capable() check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN is passed since the
euid has not been changed:
if ((ns->parent == cred->user_ns) && uid_eq(ns->owner, cred->euid))
return 0;
Now new_idmap_permitted() is hit which calls ns_capable(ns->parent,
CAP_SET{G,U}ID). This check passes since CAP_SET{G,U}ID is available in
the parent user namespace.
Now file_ns_capable(file, ns->parent, CAP_SETUID) is hit and the
cap_capable() loop (see above) is entered again. This passes
if (ns == cred->user_ns)
return cap_raised(cred->cap_effective, cap) ? 0 : -EPERM;
since CAP_SET{G,U}ID is available in the parent user namespace. Now the
mapping can be written.
There is no need for this descrepancy between setuid and fscaps based
new{g,u}idmap binaries. The solution is to do a
seteuid() back to the unprivileged uid and PR_SET_KEEPCAPS to keep
CAP_SET{G,U}ID. The seteuid() will cause the
file_ns_capable(file, ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check to pass and the
PR_SET_KEEPCAPS for CAP_SET{G,U}ID will cause the CAP_SET{G,U}ID to
pass.

This allows shadow-utils to build on systems like Adélie, which have no
<utmp.h> header or `struct utmp`. We use a <utmpx.h>-based daemon,
utmps[1], which uses `struct utmpx` only.
Tested both `login` and `logoutd` with utmps and both work correctly.

Previously, the allocation was optimized for an outdated
deployment style (that of /etc/group alongside nss_db). The issue
here is that this results in extremely poor performance when using
SSSD, Winbind or nss_ldap.
There were actually two serious bugs here that have been addressed:
1) Running getgrent() loops won't work in most SSSD or Winbind
environments, as full group enumeration is disabled by default.
This could easily result in auto-allocating a group that was
already in use. (This might result in a security issue as well, if
the shared GID is a privileged group).
2) For system groups, the loop was always iterating through the
complete SYS_GID_MIN->SYS_GID_MAX range. On SSSD and Winbind, this
means hundreds of round-trips to LDAP (unless the GIDs were
specifically configured to be ignored by the SSSD or winbindd).
To a user with a slow connection to their LDAP server, this would
appear as if groupadd -r was hung. (Though it would eventually
complete).
This patch changes the algorithm to be more favorable for LDAP
environments, at the expense of some performance when using nss_db.
Given that the DB is a local service, this should have a negligible
effect from a user's perspective.
With the new algorithm, we simply first iterate through all entries
in the local database with gr_next(), recording the IDs that are in
use. We then start from the highest presumed-available entry and
call getgrgid() to see if it is available. We continue this until
we come to the first unused GID. We then select that and return it.
If we make it through all the remaining IDs without finding a free
one, we start over from the beginning of the range and try to find
room in one of the gaps in the range.
The patch was originally written by Stephen Gallagher and applied
identically also to the user allocation by Tomáš Mráz.

- Use an allocation of 65536 uids and gids to allow for POSIX-compliant
user owned namespaces.
- Don't allocate a uid/gid map to system users.
Unfortunately checking for --system isn't quite enough as some
distribution wrappers always call useradd without --system and take care
of choosing a uid and gid themselves, so also check whether the
requested uid/gid is in the user range.
This is taken from a patch I wrote for Ubuntu a couple years ago and
which somehow didn't make it upstream.

The number of ranges should be the ceiling of the number of arguments divided
by three.
Without this fix newuidmap and newgidmap always report and error and fail,

* libmisc/find_new_sub_gids.c: Remove dead code.
find_new_sub_gids() is always called with *range_count set to 0.
It's more difficult to keep the subordinate GIDs and UIDs
synchronized, than for the user's UID/GId because the count of
subordinate IDs may differ.
* libmisc/find_new_sub_uids.c: Likewise.
