passt supports ranges of forwarded ports as well as 'all' for TCP and
UDP, so it might be convenient to proceed if we fail to bind only
some of the desired ports.
But if we fail to bind even a single port for a given specification,
we're clearly, unexpectedly, conflicting with another network
service. In that case, report failure and exit.

Rather than having conf_ports() (possibly) log an error, and then
letting the caller log the entire usage() message and exit, just log
the errors and exit immediately (using die()).
For some errors, conf_ports would previously not log any specific
message, leaving it up to the user to determine the problem by
guessing. We replace all of those silent returns with die()
(logging a specific error), thus permitting us to make conf_ports()
return void, which simplifies the caller.
While modifying the two callers to conf_ports() to not check for a
return value, we can further simplify the code by removing the check
for a non-null optarg, as that is guaranteed to never happen (due to
prior calls to getopt_long() with "argument required" for all relevant
options - getopt_long() would have already caught this error).

Nearly all of the calls to usage() in conf() occur immediately after
logging a more detailed error message, and the fact that these errors
are occuring indicates that the user has already seen the passt usage
message (or read the manpage). Spamming the logfile with the complete
contents of the usage message serves only to obscure the more detailed
error message. The only time when the full usage message should be output
is if the user explicitly asks for it with -h (or its synonyms)
As a start to eliminating the excessive calls to usage(), this patch
replaces most calls to err() followed by usage() with a call to die()
instead. A few other usage() calls remain, but their removal involves
bit more nuance that should be properly explained in separate commit

tcp_sock_init*() can create either sockets listening on the host, or in
the pasta network namespace (with @ns==1). There are, however, a number
of differences in how these two cases work in practice though. "ns"
sockets are only used in pasta mode, and they always lead to spliced
connections only. The functions are also only ever called in "ns" mode
with a NULL address and interface name, and it doesn't really make sense
for them to be called any other way.
Later changes will introduce further differences in behaviour between these
two cases, so it makes more sense to use separate functions for creating
the ns listening sockets than the regular external/host listening sockets.

- for forwarding purposes, instead of dns[], use a single field (for

With --dns-forward, if the host has a loopback address configured as
DNS server, we should actually use it to forward queries, but, if
--no-map-gw is passed, we shouldn't offer the same address via DHCP,
NDP and DHCPv6, because it's not going to be reachable.
Problematic configuration:
* systemd-resolved configuring the usual 127.0.0.53 on the host: we
read that from /etc/resolv.conf
* --dns-forward specified with an unrelated address, for example
198.51.100.1
We still want to forward queries to 127.0.0.53, if we receive one
directed to 198.51.100.1, so we can't drop 127.0.0.53 from our list:
we want to use it for forwarding. At the same time, we shouldn't
offer 127.0.0.53 to the guest or container either.
With this change, I'm only covering the case of automatically

Seen in a Google Compute Engine environment with a machine configured
via cloud-init-dhcp, while testing Podman integration for pasta: the
assigned address has a /32 netmask, and there's a default route,
which can be added on the host because there's another route, also
/32, pointing to the default gateway. For example, on the host:
ip -4 address add 10.156.0.2/32 dev eth0
ip -4 route add 10.156.0.1/32 dev eth0
ip -4 route add default via 10.156.0.1
This is not a valid configuration as far as I can tell: if the
address is configured as /32, it shouldn't be used to reach a gateway
outside its derived netmask. However, Linux allows that, and
everything works.
The problem comes when pasta --config-net sources address and default
route from the host, and it can't configure the route in the target
namespace because the gateway is invalid. That is, we would skip
configuring the first route in the example, which results in the
equivalent of doing:
ip -4 address add 10.156.0.2/32 dev eth0
ip -4 route add default via 10.156.0.1
where, at this point, 10.156.0.1 is unreachable, and hence invalid
as a gateway.
Sourcing more routes than just the default is doable, but probably
undesirable: pasta users want to provide connectivity to a container,
not reflect exactly whatever trickery is configured on the host.
Add a consistency check and an adjustment: if the configured default
gateway is not reachable, shrink the given netmask until we can reach
it.

We recently corrected some errors handling the endianness of IPv4
addresses. These are very easy errors to make since although we mostly
store them in network endianness, we sometimes need to manipulate them in
host endianness.
To reduce the chances of making such mistakes again, change to always using
a (struct in_addr) instead of a bare in_addr_t or uint32_t to store network
endian addresses. This makes it harder to accidentally do arithmetic or
comparisons on such addresses as if they were host endian.
We introduce a number of IN4_IS_ADDR_*() helpers to make it easier to
directly work with struct in_addr values. This has the additional benefit
of making the IPv4 and IPv6 paths more visually similar.

There are several minor problems with our parsing of IPv4 netmasks (-n).
First, we don't reject nonsensical netmasks like 0.255.0.255. Address this
structurally by using prefix length instead of netmask as the primary
variable, only converting (and validating) when we need to. This has the
added benefit of making some things more uniform with the IPv6 path.
Second, when the user specifies a prefix length, we truncate the output
from strtol() to an integer, which means we would treat -n 4294967320 as
valid (equivalent to 24). Fix types to check for this.

Even if CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is granted, we'll lose the capability in
the target user namespace as we isolate the process, which means
we're unable to bind to low ports at that point.
Bind inbound ports, and only those, before isolate_user(). Keep the
handling of outbound ports (for pasta mode only) after the setup of
the namespace, because that's where we'll bind them.
To this end, initialise the netlink socket for the init namespace
before isolate_user() as well, as we actually need to know the
addresses of the upstream interface before binding ports, in case
they're not explicitly passed by the user.
As we now call nl_sock_init() twice, checking its return code from
conf() twice looks a bit heavy: make it exit(), instead, as we
can't do much if we don't have netlink sockets.
While at it:
- move the v4_only && v6_only options check just after the first
option processing loop, as this is more strictly related to
option parsing proper
- update the man page, explaining that CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is
*not* the preferred way to bind ports, because passt and pasta
can be abused to allow other processes to make effective usage
of it. Add a note about the recommended sysctl instead

When in passt mode, or pasta mode spawning a command, we create a userns
for ourselves. This is used both to isolate the pasta/passt process itself
and to run the spawned command, if any.
Since eed17a47 "Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time"
we've handled both cases the same, configuring the UID and GID mappings in
the new userns to map whichever UID we're running as to root within the
userns.
This mapping is desirable when spawning a shell or other command, so that
the user gets a root shell with reasonably clear abilities within the
userns and netns. It's not necessarily essential, though. When not
spawning a shell, it doesn't really have any purpose: passt itself doesn't
need to be root and can operate fine with an unmapped user (using some of
the capabilities we get when entering the userns instead).
Configuring the uid_map can cause problems if passt is running with any
capabilities in the initial namespace, such as CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to
allow it to forward low ports. In this case the kernel makes files in
/proc/pid owned by root rather than the starting user to prevent the user
from interfering with the operation of the capability-enhanced process.
This includes uid_map meaning we are not able to write to it.
Whether this behaviour is correct in the kernel is debatable, but in any
case we might as well avoid problems by only initializing the user mappings
when we really want them.

The current implementation of drop_caps() doesn't really work because it

CAP_SETPCAP which we won't usually have.
Replace it with a new version which uses setcap(2) to drop capabilities
from the effective and permitted sets. For now we leave the inheritable
set as is, since we don't want to preclude the user from passing
inheritable capabilities to the command spawed by pasta.
Correctly dropping caps reveals that we were relying on some capabilities
we'd supposedly dropped. Re-divide the dropping of capabilities between

Port numbers (for both TCP and UDP) are 16-bit, and so fit exactly into a

used in the code. Unfortunately, a lot of those places don't actually
want the maximum port number (USHRT_MAX == 65535), they want the total
number of ports (65536). This leads to a number of potentially nasty
consequences:
* We have buffer overruns on the port_fwd::delta array if we try to use
port 65535
* We have similar potential overruns for the tcp_sock_* arrays
* Interestingly udp_act had the correct size, but we can calculate it in
a more direct manner
* We have a logical overrun of the ports bitmap as well, although it will
just use an unused bit in the last byte so isnt harmful
* Many loops don't consider port 65535 (which does mitigate some but not

passt/pasta can interact with user namespaces in a number of ways:
1) With --netns-only we'll remain in our original user namespace
2) With --userns or a PID option to pasta we'll join either the given
user namespace or that of the PID
3) When pasta spawns a shell or command we'll start a new user namespace
for the command and then join it
4) With passt we'll create a new user namespace when we sandbox()
ourself
However (3) and (4) turn out to have essentially the same effect. In both
cases we create one new user namespace. The spawned command starts there,
and passt/pasta itself will live there from sandbox() onwards.
Because of this, we can simplify user namespace handling by moving the
userns handling earlier, to the same point we drop root in the original
namespace. Extend the drop_user() function to isolate_user() which does
both.
After switching UID and GID in the original userns, isolate_user() will
either join or create the userns we require. When we spawn a command with
pasta_start_ns()/pasta_setup_ns() we no longer need to create a userns,
because we're already made one. sandbox() likewise no longer needs to
create (or join) an userns because we're already in the one we need.
We no longer need c->pasta_userns_fd, since the fd is only used locally
in isolate_user(). Likewise we can replace c->netns_only with a local

theres a check just before the call to pasta_start_ns().

check_root() both checks to see if we are root (in the init namespace),
and if we are drops to an unprivileged user. To make future cleanups
simpler, split the checking for root (now in check_root()) from the actual
dropping of privilege (now in drop_root()).
Note that this does slightly alter semantics. Previously we would only
setuid() if we were originally root (in the init namespace). Now we will
always setuid() and setgid(), though it won't actually change anything if
we weren't privileged to begin with. This also means that we will now
always attempt to switch to the user specified with --runas, even if we
aren't (init namespace) root to begin with. Obviously this will fail with
an error if we weren't privileged to start with. --help and the man page
are updated accordingly.
