[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v2 06/16] fchroot03: test fchroot() permission checks

From: Andrea Cervesato <[email protected]>

Verify that with a regular directory fd the kernel first checks the
execute permission on the directory and then CAP_SYS_CHROOT: an
unprivileged process with an accessible directory fails with EPERM and
a process without execute permission fails with EACCES.

+ * :manpage:`fchroot(2) `was introduced in Linux v7.3. With a regular directory
+ * fd the kernel first checks that the caller has execute permission on the
+ * directory, then that it holds ``CAP_SYS_CHROOT``:
+ *
+ * - an unprivileged process with an accessible directory fails with ``EPERM``
+ * - a process without execute permission on the directory fails with
+ *   ``EACCES``, proving the permission check comes before the capability
+ *   check
+ *
+ * Root is required to open the directory file descriptors before dropping
+ * to an unprivileged user in forked children.
