This is a backport of #3753 to release-1.1 branch. Original description follows.


Fixes: #3715

Since PR #3522 (commit 957d97b) was made to fix issue #3520,
a few things happened:

  • a similar functionality appeared in go 1.20 [1], so the issue
    mentioned in the comment (being removed) is no longer true;
  • a bug in runc was found [2], which also affects go [3];
  • the bug was fixed in go 1.21 [4] and 1.20.2 [5];
  • a similar fix was made to x/sys/unix.Faccessat [6].

The essense of the bug #3715 is, even if a (non-root) user that the container is
run as does not have execute permission bit set for the executable, it
should still work in case runc has the CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability set.

To fix #3715 without reintroducing the older bug [7]:

  • drop own Eaccess implementation;
  • use the one from x/sys/unix for Go 1.19 (depends on [6]);
  • do not use anything when Go 1.20+ is used.

Add a test case to make sure we won't regress.

NOTE it is virtually impossible to fix the bug [2] when Go 1.20 or Go
1.20.1 is used because of [3].

This is a test case for issue reported as opencontainers#3715. In short, even if a
(non-root) user that the container is run as does not have execute
permission bit set for the executable, it should still work in case runc
has the CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability set.

Note that since the upstream golang is also broken (see [1]), this test
will fail for Go 1.20 and 1.20.1 (fix is in Go 1.20.2 as per [2]).
