So, if the type entrypoint of container if a binary format, we can open it as a fd with
close-on-exec
flag and useexecveat
(like fexecve) tostart/exec the container process, if a malicious process modify the entrypoint to a Shebang script,
execveat
will returnENOENT
.So, let's check the original entrypoint of the container, if it is a
Shebang
script, solve it to get the final real binary file, and check whether it is in the container or not. After we open it as a fd withclose-on-exec
flag, the malicious process can only modify the final real binary's content, but can't change it to a symbol link. So maybe we can use it to defeatCVE-2019-5736
