Docker incompatibility with glibc-2.34 #4193

lslezak · 2021-09-30T13:19:16Z

Description

The Problem

Using glibc-2.34 in GitHub Actions Docker images results in strange "permission error" failures in the jobs.

This new glibc has been introduced in openSUSE Tumbleweed recently (see the announcement). That means all Docker images based on the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed might fail with some strange errors.

This is quite similar to a recent problem with the faccessat2 syscall used in glibc-2.33 (link).

The problem is already fixed in the upstream Docker (moby/moby#42681) and there is a backport in progress (moby/moby#42836). This patch should be applied in the Docker included in the GitHub Action virtual environment.

Temporary Workaround

I found out that using --privileged Docker option makes the GitHub Action work correctly,
e.g. put this into the GitHub Action file:

container:
  image: foo:bar
  options: --privileged

Virtual environments affected

Image version and build link

https://github.com/lslezak/github_action_test/actions/runs/1291119026

Is it regression?

Yes, the Docker images with older glibc-2.33 work just fine.

Expected behavior

No crashes in Docker.

Actual behavior

Strange crashes when "fork" syscall is used.

Repro steps

See a complete GitHub Action example in https://github.com/lslezak/github_action_test/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml.

That contains two failing jobs (one failing in actions/checkout@v2 action, the other one in the zypper install command) and there is a working job which uses the --privileged workaround). See the build results.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hi @lslezak! Do you happen to know the exact docker version where the issue is fixed? I assume it will be 20.10.9 so all we can do here is to wait until the version is released

lslezak · 2021-10-01T10:15:09Z

I'm not involved in the Docker development, but that pull request is included in the 20.10.9 milestone so it should be fixed in that version.

there is also an issue about fedora 35 #3812 - which is closed - but fedora 35 containers are still not working.

moby is used, not docker?

moby is used, not docker?

Docker is just moby but released under different licence by Docker, Inc.

It adds the "--privileged" Docker option as a workaround for actions/runner-images#4193

catthehacker · 2021-10-04T20:02:06Z

It seems that fix will land in 20.10.10, see moby/moby#42836 (comment)

086de3c had to disable Tumbleweed due glibc-2.34 using new syscall clone3 which is not enabled in Docker seccomp filter [1]. Workaround is to disable Docker seccomp filtering, as we don't need this protection. This should help to avoid seccomp filtering in the future for all distros.

I'm going to close this issue, please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
Thank you!

I have tested running a container without that --privileged workaround and it works fine with the latest image! Thank you! 👍
