Updates kubernetes/kubernetes#39845
Updates kubernetes/kubernetes#20870
Feature issue kubernetes/enhancements#135

This adds the notion of a default seccomp profile for kubernetes to the alpha seccomp support.

It details the various interactions with capabilities added to containers and covers some of the important syscalls that will be blocked by default.

Kinda related to the other sane hardening defaults set in #639 as well.

How will changes to the default profile work? It will be tricky to do in a way that doesn't risk breaking people on upgrade. Maybe the profile should be versioned? That's still not enough though, because changing defaults is hard... Upgrading a node shouldn't automatically replace the profile.

The only
changes to the docker one

IIRC the use of any profile is a change unless folks are using PSP already (they probably aren't). So we'll need to solve the upgrade issue early.

Obviously I'm not claiming that we will be so
lucky but it's a good sign.

Yeah, I think we're pretty safe. If the solution is "add the annotation and use unconfined again" I don't think that's a bad thing. It's just something folks need to be aware of.

The profile shouldn't need major changes once we deploy it.

Well now it's definitely going to need changes ;-) Hopefully if we get there though, we'll at least have first class support at the API level.

The docker default is represented in the annotation as docker/default. Will we add a new special annotation for this profile? (kubernetes/default? Just default?). Also, what will the deployment strategy be?

By deployment I meant how will we get the file on the nodes, but if we pass the spec through the CRI directly (rather than file path) then we don't need a file, and can just hard code it in the Kubelet (well, we could do that either way, but passing paths would require us to write it to disk somewhere). This has some crossover with the discussion on kubernetes/kubernetes#46332.

I think we should spec the seccomp format first before this. See kubernetes/kubernetes#39128 for some spec ideas.

### Spec

We will start from the OCI specification. This API resource will be added to
`settings.k8s.io` as an `alpha` resource.

I also just added a spec but I am aware it needs more info with interaction with pods/containers and obviously examples but wanted to get early feedback, can add the rest as I get some time

This is similar to the initial version of the seccomp proposal that we wrote, so I think we should think about the same questions of whether we think we want to have an API resource complex enough to model a fully materialize seccomp profile. Personally, I think there's definitely some value in doing so.

I do think you might want to split some of the updates into a separate PR and/or split the new content into a distinct proposal, see comments.

FreeBSD has a seccomp/capability-like facility called
[Capsicum](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=capsicum&sektion=4).

I think your proposal alters this text about API resources a bit, and I wonder if this ought to be a new proposal (as we have tended to do in the past when making proposals for new additions to a feature). So, we should probably either add some new text here that continues the narrative about what API resource we're adding, or split your net-new changes into a separate follow-on proposal.

This is good stuff; you may want to split the updates to the content out into a separate PR, since they're non-controversial and can easily be merged without depending on the new content here being accepted.

It's not clear whether this is global or namespaced - seems like namespaced?

Kinda feels a lot like storage classes which are not namespaced. @pmorie what makes it feel like namespaced? Multi-tenancy?

I would vote for non-namespaced, to match PodSecurityPolicy. It seems like something a ClusterAdmin should have control over... defining seccomp policies and then controlling who has permission to use them.

If an admin of a namespace has permission to create (and then use) new seccomp policies, they could potentially use known vulnerabilities in a multi-tenant cluster, right?

Just a few questiosn for you. Will be good to get this in.

| `keyctl` | Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced. |
| `lookup_dcookie` | Tracing/profiling syscall, which could leak a lot of information on the host. Also gated by `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. |
| `mbind` | Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. Already gated by `CAP_SYS_NICE`. |
| `mount` | Deny mounting, already gated by `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. |

Probably being dense, but what do you mean as "gated by"? Will the gates allow mount for instance?

meaning it is also controlled by CAP_SYS_ADMIN

This is the only one that I would be raise a concern about. Do we have a usecase for reboot? But maybe I am overthinking it.

it's been in docker's default and there have been no complaints, do you reboot in a container, where is your cause for concern, just curious

Is this reboot the node or the container? And frankly I have never typed reboot inside a container.

It's referring to the reboot syscall, which is not for containers because they aren't real :) http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/reboot.2.html

@jessfraz will you have bandwidth to drive this to completion in 1.10, or should we look for another owner?

Also, seccomp profiles can be layered, right? (Is no_new_privs required for that?) It might be useful to have a cluster-admin enforced default policy, but still allow devs to further tighten the restrictions with a custom profile layered on top.


If `capAdd` is used on a Container, the default profile will be adjusted to
interact accordingly with the capability added. These are documented below in
a table by the cap being added:

Some of these capabilities are in the default set (e.g. CAP_CHOWN) - does that mean those syscalls would be allowed by default, or only if CAP_CHOWN is explicitly added?
