From c31c5be4b362eda62165339b5e9138dc83937d54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Myers <9696606+johntmyers@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:15:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] fix(sandbox): add parent-side Landlock availability probe logging Landlock status was only logged from inside the pre_exec child process where the tracing/OCSF pipeline is non-functional after fork. This made Landlock failures completely invisible in sandbox logs. Add a probe_availability() function that issues the raw landlock_create_ruleset syscall to check kernel support, and call it from the parent process before fork in all three spawn paths (entrypoint, SSH PTY, SSH pipe). Uses std::sync::Once to emit exactly once per sandbox lifetime. WIP - addresses logging gap from #803. --- crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs | 6 ++ .../src/sandbox/linux/landlock.rs | 94 +++++++++++++++++++ .../src/sandbox/linux/mod.rs | 92 ++++++++++++++++++ crates/openshell-sandbox/src/ssh.rs | 8 ++ 4 files changed, 200 insertions(+) diff --git a/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs b/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs index b29682cf0..c1a7c06ec 100644 --- a/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs +++ b/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs @@ -154,6 +154,12 @@ impl ProcessHandle { } } + // Probe Landlock availability and emit OCSF logs from the parent + // process where the tracing subscriber is functional.

Root-only paths (mode 700) now succeed instead of silently failing as uid 998. - enforce() runs after drop_privileges: calls restrict_self() which does not require root. This fixes the root cause of #803 where drop_privileges() ran before sandbox::apply(), causing PathFd::new() to fail on root-only paths. In best_effort mode this silently dropped all Landlock restrictions. The fix applies to all three spawn paths: entrypoint (process.rs), SSH PTY (ssh.rs), and SSH pipe exec (ssh.rs). Removes xfail marker from e2e test that now passes. --- crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs | 28 ++++-- .../src/sandbox/linux/landlock.rs | 95 +++++++++++++------ .../src/sandbox/linux/mod.rs | 33 +++++++ crates/openshell-sandbox/src/ssh.rs | 77 ++++++++++++--- e2e/python/test_sandbox_landlock.py | 62 ------------ 5 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 111 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs b/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs index c1a7c06ec..2b0181cfe 100644 --- a/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs +++ b/crates/openshell-sandbox/src/process.rs @@ -160,6 +160,13 @@ impl ProcessHandle { #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] sandbox::linux::log_sandbox_readiness(policy, workdir); + // Phase 1 (as root): Prepare Landlock ruleset by opening PathFds. + // This MUST happen before drop_privileges() so that root-only paths + // (e.g. mode 700 directories) can be opened.
