On a system +where the admins don't trust their users or their users' programs, +user namespaces expose the system to potential misuse of resources. + +In order to mitigate this, we recommend that admins enable memory +control groups on any system that enables user namespaces. +Furthermore, we recommend that admins configure the memory control +groups to limit the maximum memory usable by any untrusted user. + +Memory control groups can be configured by installing the libcgroup +package present on most distros editing /etc/cgrules.conf, +/etc/cgconfig.conf and setting up libpam-cgroup. |
