Kir Kolyshkin aef8a8cd42 [release-branch.go1.20] syscall: Faccessat: check for CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE on Linux
CL 416115 added using faccessat2(2) from syscall.Faccessat on Linux
(which is the only true way to implement AT_EACCESS flag handing),
if available. If not available, it uses some heuristics to mimic the
kernel behavior, mostly taken from glibc (see CL 126415).

Next, CL 414824 added using the above call (via unix.Eaccess) to
exec.LookPath in order to check if the binary can really be executed.

As a result, in a very specific scenario, described below,
syscall.Faccessat (and thus exec.LookPath) mistakenly tells that the
binary can not be executed, while in reality it can be. This makes
this bug a regression in Go 1.20.

This scenario involves all these conditions:
 - no faccessat2 support available (i.e. either Linux kernel < 5.8,
   or a seccomp set up to disable faccessat2);
 - the current user is not root (i.e. geteuid() != 0);
 - CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability is set for the current process;
 - the file to be executed does not have executable permission
   bit set for either the current EUID or EGID;
 - the file to be executed have at least one executable bit set.

Unfortunately, this set of conditions was observed in the wild -- a
container run as a non-root user with the binary file owned by root with
executable permission set for a user only [1]. Essentially it means it
is not as rare as it may seem.

Now, CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE essentially makes the kernel bypass most of the
checks, so execve(2) and friends work the same was as for root user,
i.e. if at least one executable bit it set, the permission to execute
is granted (see generic_permission() function in the Linux kernel).

Modify the code to check for CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and mimic the kernel
behavior for permission checks.
