For a while there has been the constraint of having to run as root for
transparent proxying, and we're starting to see some cases where QUIC is
not running in socket-per-connection mode due to the missing capability
that would be needed to bind a privileged port. It's not realistic to
ask all QUIC users on port 443 to run as root, so instead let's provide
a basic support for capabilities at least on linux. The ones currently
supported are cap_net_raw, cap_net_admin and cap_net_bind_service. The
mechanism was made OS-specific with a dedicated file because it really
is. It can be easily refined later for other OSes if needed.
A new keyword "setcaps" is added to the global section, to enumerate the
capabilities that must be kept when switching from root to non-root. This
is ignored in other situations though. HAProxy has to be built with
USE_LINUX_CAP=1 for this to be supported, which is enabled by default
for linux-glibc, linux-glibc-legacy and linux-musl.
A good way to test this is to start haproxy with such a config:
global
uid 1000
setcap cap_net_bind_service
frontend test
mode http
timeout client 3s
bind quic4@:443 ssl crt rsa+dh2048.pem allow-0rtt
and run it under "sudo strace -e trace=bind,setuid", then connecting
there from an H3 client. The bind() syscall must succeed despite the
user id having been switched.
