From 44bad43e29461c86e9511cbd89b278a6c885b360 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: qnbs <155236708+qnbs@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:23:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] feat(cef): real Linux sandbox-enable attempt (no_sandbox=false) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PR #402's inventory only proved unprivileged user-namespace creation was functionally reachable on the CI runner (a bare `unshare` succeeded) — it never launched CEF with sandboxing enabled. This flips CefSettings.no_sandbox to false and adds a new CI proof (scripts/cef/run-sandbox-status-proof.mjs) that reads real per-process evidence (Seccomp/NoNewPrivs/user-namespace identity) on renderer/GPU subprocesses while the host is running, rather than trusting a clean launch alone as proof. First real attempt against the acceptance bar already written in cef-architecture-primer.md — continue-on-error for now, matching the accessibility feature's own PR #391->#397 two-attempt precedent, so a failure here doesn't also block the Wayland smoke proof.

This refutes the PR #402 assumption that userns alone would be sufficient; CEF's own COPY_FILES step never chown/chmods the helper, so this adds the standard CEF/Chromium packaging step (matching what a real .deb/AppImage installer would need to do anyway) right after the build, before any sandboxed launch is attempted. Also hardens the new proof harness per real review findings on this PR: - scripts/cef/run-sandbox-status-proof.mjs now wraps its process lifetime in try/finally so an assertion failure can never leak a sandboxed CEF process tree past this (continue-on-error) step into the Wayland smoke proof that runs after it. - Seccomp evidence now requires exactly '2' (real seccomp-BPF filter mode), not just non-zero — Seccomp=1 is Linux's unrelated strict mode and would have overclaimed layer-2 evidence. - All three python http.server invocations in this workflow file now use `trap ... EXIT` instead of a plain trailing `kill`, which GitHub Actions' default `bash -e` semantics could previously skip entirely on an early script failure, leaking the server process for the rest of the job.

Real research (Chromium crashpad-dev mailing list thread on exactly this ScopedPtraceAttach/Yama interaction): Yama LSM's default ptrace_scope=1 restricts ptrace to direct-descendant relationships, and cross-namespace ptrace additionally requires CAP_SYS_PTRACE within the *target's* own user namespace — which the crash handler (now also sandboxed into its own namespace) no longer has for a renderer crashing in a different namespace. This relaxes only the CI runner's own Yama policy (a distro/kernel hardening layer, entirely separate from and unaffected by Chromium's own sandbox/seccomp flags — does not touch no_sandbox or any of the forbidden weakening flags this PR's own harness already checks for) to isolate whether Yama alone is the blocker, or whether the deeper CAP_SYS_PTRACE-across-namespaces barrier persists regardless. Diagnostic only, never shipped to users, clearly labeled as such.

Real evidence already in this PR's earlier failing run's log points more precisely at prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, ...) itself failing with EINVAL (crashpad_client_linux.cc:376) — per prctl(2)'s own documented EINVAL condition ("arg2 is not an existing process"), this is consistent with a PID-namespace-relative mismatch: PID values are namespace-relative, so the handler's PID as known outside the renderer's new sandbox-created PID namespace may not resolve to anything from inside it. This is a real, evidenced hypothesis, not yet a proven fix, and research (the crashpad-dev mailing list's own ScopedPtraceAttach/Yama thread) confirms Crashpad has a designed PR_SET_PTRACER + PtraceBroker fallback for restricted Yama — so a bare EPERM/EINVAL is diagnostic evidence of *which* step is failing, not proof the whole mechanism is unsupported. Concretely: - scripts/cef/run-launch-cycle-proof.mjs: new --skip-crash-reporting / --only-crash-reporting flags split the 3-cycle lifecycle proof from the crash-reporting cycle into independently runnable, independently reportable proofs (default behavior unchanged when neither flag is passed). Crash-reporting cycle now runs at --v=2 (was --v=1) and logs a real /proc-based process-tree snapshot (Seccomp/NoNewPrivs/CapEff/ user-ns per matching process) both right after the crash is detected and again on a dump-write timeout, giving real topology evidence instead of a bare timeout message. Also fixes this older file's unescaped pgrep -f regex argument (the same CodeRabbit-flagged class of bug already fixed in run-symbolization-proof.mjs on PR #400). - .github/workflows/cef-learning-harness.yml: removes the one-time Yama ptrace_scope=0 diagnostic step from steady state (it served its causal A/B purpose already; keeping it would silently make the crash-reporting step pass under a relaxed, non-representative condition). The lifecycle proof (--skip-crash-reporting) stays the hard, blocking gate it always was. Crash-reporting now runs as its own continue-on-error step, at the real unmodified ptrace_scope, so it honestly reports the production-representative outcome without hiding the (separately real) sandbox-enforcement evidence collected by the steps after it — all of which now use if: always() so one proof's failure can never again cascade-skip the others, exactly the "keep the gates semantically separate" principle already established elsewhere in this file for CI-proof-vs-production-packaging-proof.

The specific, testable hypothesis is that PR_SET_PTRACER's EINVAL (crashpad_client_linux.cc:376) reflects a PID-namespace-relative mismatch: PID values are only meaningful within the namespace they're read from, and prctl(2) documents EINVAL when arg2 isn't 0/PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY/ an existing process *as seen by the caller*. This adds the concrete evidence needed to actually test that hypothesis, without joining any child namespace (which the crashed renderer usually won't outlive long enough to attempt anyway): - logProcessTreeDiagnostic() now also reads NSpid from /proc//status — visible from this (ambient/outer) namespace for every nested PID namespace a process belongs to. A renderer inside its own PID namespace shows two values (" "); a process that never entered a nested namespace shows only one. This is real, direct evidence for or against the hypothesis, not another inference layered on top of the existing Seccomp/user-ns signals. - listCrashpadHandlerPids(): a separate, unanchored `pgrep -if crashpad` search, since the Crashpad handler process may not match the binaryPathPattern-anchored search this file already uses for worldscript_host's own subprocess tree. - The stdout-polling-driven snapshot (200ms cadence) risks firing after the handler process has already exited — this PR's own captured log shows the whole crash-to-EINVAL sequence completing in well under 200ms. A new stderr-event-driven snapshot fires the instant a ptrace-related log line is flushed, maximizing the chance of catching the handler process's real namespace state before it's gone. Still purely diagnostic — no application behavior changes, no gate flipped. Real ptrace_scope (no Yama relaxation) is what the next CI run observes, giving a genuinely production-representative result.

Also adds PPid (process ancestry) and ns/pid_for_children (the namespace any new child a process forks would join, which can legitimately differ from that process's own ns/pid — the exact shape of a zygote/sandbox-setup parent about to fork into a freshly-created namespace) for a fuller topology picture.

Since that fallback is truthy, the `?? (crashpadPids.includes(pid) ? 'crashpad-handler(?)' : ...)` branch in logProcessTreeDiagnostic was unreachable dead code whenever the handler's cmdline was readable at all (nearly always) — meaning the handler was silently mislabeled 'browser', corrupting exactly the renderer-vs-handler and browser-vs-handler pid-ns identity comparisons this investigation depends on. isCrashpadCandidate now takes precedence over the --type=-based guess. Also adds /proc//exe (readlink) and the raw cmdline array to the per-process log line — real, auditable identity evidence, not just the --type= inference. 2. The event-driven ptrace-diagnostic regex (/ptrace|PR_SET_PTRACER| scoped_ptrace_attach/i) never matched this PR's own earliest captured failure line ("crashpad_client_linux.cc:376] prctl: Invalid argument (22)") — prctl is a distinct syscall name from the later ptrace() call, so none of those substrings appear in it. The snapshot was only ever firing on the second, later failure line. Added crashpad_client_linux and prctl: to the pattern so it fires at the earliest, most diagnostically valuable moment. 3. --skip-crash-reporting and --only-crash-reporting together would skip both the lifecycle loop and the crash-reporting cycle — main() would do nothing and exit 0 having tested nothing, a real false-green risk. Now rejected explicitly at startup.

The acceptance assertion is promoted from "any single non-browser process shows Seccomp=2 or a distinct user-ns" to a real renderer-specific test: at least one observed --type=renderer process must show Seccomp=2. Real CI evidence on this PR showed GPU-process and network-utility processes legitimately run with Seccomp=0 while renderer/storage-utility show Seccomp=2 — the old assertion could have been satisfied entirely by a GPU/utility process without the renderer itself ever being verified, which is exactly the false-positive shape the acceptance bar in cef-architecture-primer.md exists to prevent. GPU/utility evidence is still collected and logged, never asserted on. Namespace-readlink unreadability is explicitly logged as "cannot observe" rather than fabricated as a negative "not distinct" result — real CI evidence shows the kernel denies this read for sandboxed renderers via the same ptrace_may_access-family access-control family that also gates ptrace(2) itself (a stronger, different access mode), corroborating but not proving the exact mechanism blocking Crashpad's own attach. 3. cef-learning-harness.yml: the crash-reporting-under-sandbox step now uses if: always() (keeping continue-on-error: true) so its real outcome is visible in the job summary even if an earlier proof in the job fails.

Real research (not assumed): the [crashpad-dev mailing list's own `ScopedPtraceAttach`/Yama LSM thread](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/crashpad-dev/c/xKDuGngLLhw) confirms Crashpad's Linux client calls `prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, handler_pid, ...)` to declare the handler under Yama's restricted `ptrace_scope`, with a designed fallback (a forked `PtraceBroker`) if that declaration fails — so a bare `EINVAL`/`EPERM` is diagnostic evidence of *which* step is failing, not proof the whole mechanism is unsupported. [`prctl(2)`'s own manual page](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html) documents `EINVAL` specifically when `PR_SET_PTRACER`'s argument is not `0`, `PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY`, or the PID of a process that exists **from the calling process's own view** — consistent with (not proof of) a PID-namespace-relative mismatch: PID numbers are namespace-relative, so a handler PID valid in the ambient namespace may not resolve to anything from inside a sandboxed renderer's own newly-created PID namespace. + +A controlled diagnostic experiment (relaxing `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope` to `0`, CI-only, never a steady-state fix, removed from the workflow again after use) made the symptom disappear — real, reproducible, but this only proves Yama's declaration requirement is *a* blocker; it does not by itself prove *why* `PR_SET_PTRACER` fails, since relaxing Yama routes around the declaration requirement entirely rather than fixing whatever makes the declaration fail. A second, independent, non-invasive signal was found by extending the same diagnostic harness: `readlink(/proc//ns/pid)` — read from the ambient namespace, which can see the full nesting chain without joining any child namespace — is itself denied for the sandboxed renderer (and storage-utility) processes, the same ones showing `Seccomp=2`, while it succeeds for the less-sandboxed browser/handler/zygote/GPU-process/network-utility (`Seccomp=0`). `/proc//ns/*` reads and `ptrace(2)` both belong to the same Linux `ptrace_may_access`-family access-control family, but use different access modes (a plain procfs read vs. `ptrace(2)`'s stronger attach mode) — so this denial **corroborates** the access-control-boundary hypothesis without being direct proof of the exact numeric-PID mismatch. A live syscall trace (`strace`) was deliberately not attempted: `strace` itself requires `ptrace`-attaching to the traced process, which would occupy the same "one tracer" slot the mechanism under investigation needs, confounding rather than clarifying the result. + +**Current, carefully-worded status** (do not overclaim beyond this): *Renderer sandbox enforcement is confirmed.

The exact PID-namespace-relative mismatch has not been directly syscall-traced and remains an evidence-backed hypothesis rather than a proven single root cause.* Environment scope is **unresolved, not GitHub-Actions-specific** — this has only been observed on a GitHub-hosted runner; whether it reproduces on a stock Linux desktop with the same kernel/Yama policy is real, separate, not-yet-attempted follow-up work, and is the next genuinely high-value diagnostic step — not another increasingly invasive GitHub-runner experiment.

PR #404's own diagnostic harness (`scripts/cef/run-launch-cycle-proof.mjs`'s `logProcessTreeDiagnostic`, `scripts/cef/run-sandbox-status-proof.mjs`) directly captured real process names/types/PIDs/PPIDs via `/proc//cmdline` during a live run — upgrading the renderer and GPU-process lines from PR #388's original "(likely)"/"not directly observed" caveats to confirmed evidence. Namespace identity (`/proc//ns/pid`, `/proc//ns/user`) remains unconfirmed for the more heavily sandboxed processes specifically because the kernel denies that read for them — see "Sandbox configuration" above for why that denial is itself evidence, not a gap in the harness.

Now scoped to hostMatched (matchedPids-only) pids — this is exactly the residual risk already flagged and deliberately deferred during the live investigation; cheap enough to fix now that CodeRabbit independently found the same gap. Two other nitpicks from the same review declined with reasoning (see PR thread replies): an opt-in local-sandbox-bypass CLI flag for main.cpp is scope creep for a real bug fix PR (CEF's own FATAL error message already tells developers exactly what to configure); extracting the /proc-parsing helpers into a shared module between the two proof scripts would break this project's established per-script self-containment convention (every other scripts/cef/*.mjs proof is similarly self-contained) and adds real risk mid-investigation for a nitpick CodeRabbit itself labels "Low value".

Both proof scripts' listMatchingPids() only enumerate processes whose CURRENT command line starts with worldscript_host's own path, which cannot reliably observe the transient pre-execv chrome-sandbox phase by design. Corrected the claim everywhere it appeared (CEF-RUST-COMPETENCY-MATRIX.md manifest + domains table + Appendix A.1 + gate checklist, OWNERSHIP.yaml ×3, native-readiness.md, cef-architecture-primer.md's status line + process-tree diagram + a new explicit "what is and is NOT proven" paragraph) to what's actually, reliably proven: the helper file is correctly chown root/chmod 4755'd (real, static, always-checkable), and Chromium's own FATAL check (observed pre-fix) actively validates the helper and aborts rather than silently falling back if misconfigured — since launches now succeed cleanly with that exact check in the code path, this is strong indirect evidence of real use, not the same claim as a captured exec-level observation. Real sandbox_smoke=true evidence (renderer Seccomp=2) is unaffected by this correction — that claim never depended on the chrome-sandbox-invocation claim.

A post-launch polling snapshot therefore cannot reliably observe the transient pre-`execv` `chrome-sandbox` phase — one specific CI run happened to catch it (see the process-tree diagram below), but that was incidental timing luck, not a designed, repeatable capture. What IS reliably, deliberately proven: the helper file is correctly `chown root`/`chmod 4755`'d (a real, static, always-checkable fact), and Chromium's own `FATAL` check (observed pre-fix, see above) *actively validates* the helper and aborts rather than silently falling back if it's misconfigured — since launches now succeed cleanly with that exact check in the code path, this is strong indirect evidence the helper is genuinely used, not merely present on disk. But it is not the same claim as "we captured the helper process executing," and this doc does not make that stronger claim. + **Renderer crash-dump generation under sandbox — a real, separate regression, not solved**: the pre-existing crash-reporting proof (`chrome://crash`, proven since PR #392) still correctly detects the renderer crash and confirms the browser process survives (process isolation holds) — but once the sandbox above is genuinely active, the dump-write step itself fails: `third_party/crashpad/crashpad/util/linux/scoped_ptrace_attach.cc:27] ptrace: Operation not permitted`, preceded by `third_party/crashpad/crashpad/client/crashpad_client_linux.cc:376] prctl: Invalid argument (22)`. Real research (not assumed): the [crashpad-dev mailing list's own `ScopedPtraceAttach`/Yama LSM thread](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/crashpad-dev/c/xKDuGngLLhw) confirms Crashpad's Linux client calls `prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, handler_pid, ...)` to declare the handler under Yama's restricted `ptrace_scope`, with a designed fallback (a forked `PtraceBroker`) if that declaration fails — so a bare `EINVAL`/`EPERM` is diagnostic evidence of *which* step is failing, not proof the whole mechanism is unsupported. [`prctl(2)`'s own manual page](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/prctl.2.html) documents `EINVAL` specifically when `PR_SET_PTRACER`'s argument is not `0`, `PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY`, or the PID of a process that exists **from the calling process's own view** — consistent with (not proof of) a PID-namespace-relative mismatch: PID numbers are namespace-relative, so a handler PID valid in the ambient namespace may not resolve to anything from inside a sandboxed renderer's own newly-created PID namespace. A controlled diagnostic experiment (relaxing `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope` to `0`, CI-only, never a steady-state fix, removed from the workflow again after use) made the symptom disappear — real, reproducible, but this only proves Yama's declaration requirement is *a* blocker; it does not by itself prove *why* `PR_SET_PTRACER` fails, since relaxing Yama routes around the declaration requirement entirely rather than fixing whatever makes the declaration fail. A second, independent, non-invasive signal was found by extending the same diagnostic harness: `readlink(/proc//ns/pid)` — read from the ambient namespace, which can see the full nesting chain without joining any child namespace — is itself denied for the sandboxed renderer (and storage-utility) processes, the same ones showing `Seccomp=2`, while it succeeds for the less-sandboxed browser/handler/zygote/GPU-process/network-utility (`Seccomp=0`). `/proc//ns/*` reads and `ptrace(2)` both belong to the same Linux `ptrace_may_access`-family access-control family, but use different access modes (a plain procfs read vs. `ptrace(2)`'s stronger attach mode) — so this denial **corroborates** the access-control-boundary hypothesis without being direct proof of the exact numeric-PID mismatch. A live syscall trace (`strace`) was deliberately not attempted: `strace` itself requires `ptrace`-attaching to the traced process, which would occupy the same "one tracer" slot the mechanism under investigation needs, confounding rather than clarifying the result. @@ -101,8 +103,13 @@ A controlled diagnostic experiment (relaxing `kernel.yama.ptrace_scope` to `0`, worldscript_host (browser process, PR #404: no_sandbox=false, never itself sandboxed — Chromium's own design; the trusted coordinator that sets up sandboxing for its children) └── worldscript_host --type=zygote ...

Best-effort (failure doesn't abort startup — same as before this fix, just without the mitigation). This is a real fix attempt, not a diagnostic-only change: if CI confirms a real .dmp file is now written under the real (unmodified) ptrace_scope configuration, crashpad_renderer_dump_sandboxed flips true and R-19 closes. If it doesn't work, this is still real, valuable negative evidence narrowing the remaining hypothesis space further.

Traced the real pinned CEF 151.3.18/Chromium 151.0.7922.138 Crashpad Linux source (chromium.googlesource.com, chromiumembedded/cef branch 7922): - The failing call (crashpad_client_linux.cc:376, inside HandleCrashImpl, fires at crash-time in the signal handler) is Crashpad's own documented BACKUP for its primary mechanism: SetPtracerAtFork, registered via pthread_atfork, which uses a plain handler_pid_ (PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY does not appear anywhere in this file). Crashpad's own comment on the backup call anticipates it might fail with a permission-style error ("disallowed if the sandbox is engaged") if the real declaration already happened upstream via inherited fork state — not the EINVAL (invalid PID) we actually observe, meaning the real, expected-to-exist declaration never happened correctly in the first place. - Confirmed via CEF's crash_reporting.cc: renderer crash-reporter re-init happens in ZygoteForked(), a post-fork hook. - Confirmed via Chromium's own docs: each renderer gets clone(CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWUSER, ...) at the moment of its own fork FROM the zygote — not a fresh main() re-execution. - Tested this directly: added prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY) as the first statement in main() (real Chromium/kernel-documented mechanism for exactly this renderer/external-handler scenario). Real CI result: zero effect, identical EINVAL. This is real, valuable negative evidence: it means the renderer never re-executes our main() at all — Chromium's zygote model forks an already-running process via raw clone(), which pthread_atfork-based hooks (including Crashpad's OWN primary mechanism) do not cover either, explaining why Crashpad's authors needed the backup call in the first place. Given no application-level code can run inside Chromium's own internal post-clone renderer path, a real fix from our own main.cpp is not possible without patching CEF/Chromium/Crashpad itself. Researched real, non-security process-spawn alternatives instead: --no-zygote is a real, documented Chromium switch that changes the SPAWN MECHANISM (fork+exec per subprocess, not zygote-fork) without touching no_sandbox, seccomp, or namespace flags directly. But Chromium's own docs state the zygote is also "responsible for setting up and bookkeeping the namespace sandbox" — so this is tested as a real, isolated, continue-on-error CI experiment that checks BOTH axes together (Seccomp=2 sandbox evidence AND real .dmp crash-dump generation), with a Seccomp regression treated as an outright rejection of this candidate, not just a crash-dump pass/fail.
