3 # This script, noshellinject, creates a mount namespace,
4 # in which common shell commands (/bin/sh, /bin/bash, ...) are bind-mounted over with "notashell".
6 # Using notashell(1) is supposed to prevent shell-injections.
8 # notashell(1) bypasses shell only when the program, which is called by noshellinject, does
9 # directly execute an over-mounted shell (notashell switches NOTASHELL_INTERCEPT environment off).
10 # So in your untrusted-argument-validator script and any of its subprocesses,
11 # sh(1)/bash(1) may be called at your convenience.
12 # This is safe, because it's your control what you pass to them from the validator.
14 # One notable thing in its mechanics is that this re-enablement of real shells
15 # is done not by switching back to the original mount namespace,
16 # because the neglegent program (which calls system(3) inconsiderately) may
17 # switch privilege level so its child process can not switch namespaces,
18 # but by keep calling notashell(1) in guise of sh(1)/bash(1)
19 # but no longer having NOTASHELL_INTERCEPT makes notashell(1) call the real boys
20 # from /var/lib/notashell where they were previously saved (bind-mounted).
21 # Therefore, don't allow users to change NOTASHELL_INTERCEPT environment either.
25 # where to save (bind-mount) read shell executables from /bin
