userns: Don't allow setgroups until a gid mapping has been setablished
commit 273d2c67c3e179adb1e74f403d1e9a06e3f841b5 upstream. setgroups is unique in not needing a valid mapping before it can be called, in the case of setgroups(0, NULL) which drops all supplemental groups. The design of the user namespace assumes that CAP_SETGID can not actually be used until a gid mapping is established. Therefore add a helper function to see if the user namespace gid mapping has been established and call that function in the setgroups permission check. This is part of the fix for CVE-2014-8989, being able to drop groups without privilege using user namespaces. Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
