From f0a07f834c001c5b505e84b0f0b103e530e87d1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Claisse Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 13:36:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] BUG/MINOR: cfgparse-tcp: relax namespace bind check Commit 5cbb278 introduced cap_sys_admin support, and enforced checks for both binds and servers. However, when binding into a namespace, the bind is done before dropping privileges. Hence, checking that we have cap_sys_admin capability set in this case is not needed (and it would decrease security to add it). For users starting haproxy with other user than root and without cap_sys_admin, bind should have already failed. As a consequence, relax runtime check for binds into a namespace. --- src/cfgparse-tcp.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/cfgparse-tcp.c b/src/cfgparse-tcp.c index 2c214f3d8..e60a18a54 100644 --- a/src/cfgparse-tcp.c +++ b/src/cfgparse-tcp.c @@ -173,7 +173,6 @@ static int bind_parse_namespace(char **args, int cur_arg, struct proxy *px, stru ha_alert("Cannot open namespace '%s'.\n", args[cur_arg + 1]); return ERR_ALERT | ERR_FATAL; } - global.last_checks |= LSTCHK_SYSADM; return 0; }
