Hello,
Today I've managed to escape from a jail by accident and ended up with
root access to the host's filesystem.
Here's what I did:
* Using ezjail for managing my jails
* Verified in FreeBSD 9.0-BETA3 and 9.0-RC3
* This works only when I use sudo, and cannot reproduce if I execute
everything as root
First, created a folder *inside* the jail and cd to it:
host$ sudo ezjail-admin console jail-test
jail-test# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator)
jail-test# mkdir ~/jail-folder
jail-test# cd ~/jail-folder
jail-test# pwd
/root/jail-folder
Then from the host machine I've moved this folder to the cwd.
host$ pwd
/usr/home/mra
host$ sudo mv /home/jails/jail-test/root/jail-folder .
And then here's where the jail ends up :)
jail-test# pwd
/usr/home/mra/jail-folder

host's filesystem.
Not sure if it is sudo or jail issue, and would be nice if someone
with more experience can check this up :)
This is not really "escaping".
It's more like "being sprung by your friends outside" since
it requires outside participation.
The jailed process cannot do it by itself.
Now what would be more interesting is if the jailed process can
make a new jail inside the old jail and then 'spring' the inmate there.
will that inmate be still inside the parent jail, or outside both jails?
Regards,
Marin
