    Description

      Description of problem:

      When building images, items such as the /run/secrets/redhat.repo file from the build container are bind-mounted into the rootfs of the image being built for the benefit of RUN instructions.  For a privileged build, the fact that the bind includes the nodev/noexec/nosuid flags doesn't cause any problems.  When attempting the build without privileges, where the source file (itself mounted into the build container from the host) is not owned by the user the builder container is running as, this can fail because the kernel won't allow a bind mount that tries to remove any of these flags, and the logic which handled transient mounts when using chroot isolation wasn't taking enough care to avoid that possibility.
      
      

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      buildah-1.32.0 and earlier
      
      

      How reproducible:

      Always
      
      

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. On a single-node setup, `touch` /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo, which is the target of a symbolic link in /usr/share/rhel/secrets, which /usr/share/containers/mounts.conf tells CRI-O should have its contents exposed in containers.
      2. Attempt to build this spec:
      {{
      apiVersion: build.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Build
      metadata:
        name: unprivileged
      spec:
        source:
          type: Dockerfile
          dockerfile: |
            FROM registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-minimal
            RUN find /run/secrets -ls
            RUN head /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map /run/secrets/redhat.repo
        strategy:
          type: Docker
          dockerStrategy:
            env:
            - name: BUILD_PRIVILEGED
              value: "false"
      }}
      3.
      

      Actual results:

      error running subprocess: remounting "/tmp/buildahXXX/mnt/rootfs/run/secrets/redhat.repo" in mount namespace with expected flags: operation not permitted
      

      Expected results:

      No such mount error.  Depending on the permissions on the file, the unprivileged build may still fail if it attempts to use the contents of that file, but that's not a bug in the builder so much as a consequence of access controls.
