Jonathan Calmels from NVIDIA reported that he's able to bypass the
mount visibility security check in place in the Linux kernel by using
a combination of the unbindable property along with the private mount
propagation option to allow a unprivileged user to see a path which
was purposefully hidden by the root user.
Reproducer:
# Hide a path to all users using a tmpfs
root@castiana:~# mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /sys/devices/
root@castiana:~#
# As an unprivileged user, unshare user namespace and mount namespace
stgraber@castiana:~$ unshare -U -m -r
# Confirm the path is still not accessible
root@castiana:~# ls /sys/devices/
# Make /sys recursively unbindable and private
root@castiana:~# mount --make-runbindable /sys
root@castiana:~# mount --make-private /sys
# Recursively bind-mount the rest of /sys over to /mnnt
root@castiana:~# mount --rbind /sys/ /mnt
# Access our hidden /sys/device as an unprivileged user
root@castiana:~# ls /mnt/devices/

Solve this by teaching copy_tree to fail if a mount turns out to be
both unbindable and locked.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
