Doc Text:
Cause: Insufficient privileges to set extended attributes during untaring. Consequence: oc image extract was failing with operation not permitted error when run as non-root user. Fix: Check user and set extended security attributes only when run as root. Result: oc image extract works correctly for both root and non-root user.

Description OpenShift BugZilla Robot 2021-06-09 13:21:34 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1965330 +++

Description of problem:

RHEL images now contain two files with security capabilities that are being set, as described here:
https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RHELBLD-4379

This results in failures during oc image extract because the extraction process can't set the capability on the extracted file (because the user doesn't have permission to do so):

$ oc image extract registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com/rh-osbs/iib:76743
error: unable to extract layer sha256:53732dad4680ae165f569331357b89605c03583057db7193a7a4fabdf312f061 from registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com/rh-osbs/iib:76743: operation not permitted

RHEL has since reversed this change because of the impact on OCP, but will want to re-assert the change once OCP is patched to tolerate these files/capabilities.  

The fix to oc will need to be backported all the way to at least 4.6 to ensure customers have a working binary to consume.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.8 but expectation is that all versions are affected.

How reproducible:
always (when using an image w/ these files/capabilities set)

Actual results:
permission failure extracting the image

Expected results:
files are extracted successfully

can't reproduce with latest oc now:

OpenShift engineering has decided to not ship Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.7.17 due a regression https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1973006. All the fixes which were part of 4.7.17 will be now part of 4.7.18 and planned to be available in candidate channel on June 23 2021 and in fast channel on June 28th.
