Not using "noexec" with "/run" mount, on EC2 Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

0

I believe this might be a security issue, as this happened in 2014, but would rather not pay $29 for "Premium Support".

It looks like the initramfs is not always mounting the /run partition as noexec.

A stock Ubuntu 22.04 install shows the noexec mount option is present (source), so I suspect one of the AWS modifications has affected this?

I can check four EC2 servers that are running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, three of them upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04.5, the other started new a few weeks ago... oddly, two of the upgraded servers have kept the noexec.

Update 2022-09-28: Thanks to Andrew Lowther, it looks like a temporary work around is to use the details in this initramfs does not get loaded bug report:

mv /etc/default/grub.d/40-force-partuuid.cfg{,.bak};
update-grub;

Official response from Amazon, on 5th Oct 2022, 11:31 BST:

We confirm that /run/lock is mounted with noexec. And also ,Canonical is the creator and publisher of these images, not AWS. The Ubuntu images are somewhat unique compare to other Linux images as they use PARTUUID and by default they are initrdless.

And Andrew Lowther has provided a fantastically detailed answer, and noted that it has been reported to Ubuntu by John Chittum.
