[PATCH] linux: make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path [BZ #22679]

[PATCH] linux: make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path [BZ #22679]

[Dmitry V. Levin]

As the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit
v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path,
check for the path returned by syscall and fail with EACCES if the path
is not absolute.

[BZ #22679]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c (__getcwd): Set errno to EACCES and
return NULL if the path returned by getcwd syscall is not absolute.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-getcwd-abspath.c: New test.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (tests): Add tst-getcwd-abspath.

When we still used /proc we just fell through to the generic getcwd in
that case.

Sure, but the generic getcwd sets errno to ENOENT in this case.
Do you suppose that ENOENT is more appropriate than EACCES?

Yes, the anchor no longer exists.

[Florian Weimer]

* Dmitry V. Levin:

Using

  TEST_COMPARE (errno, ENOENT);

for the second check would make it easier to diagnose test failures
without recompiling the test.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getcwd.html
does not license getcwd to fail with ENOENT.

That's not true.  It doesn't specify any condition for ENOENT, thus we
can use it for our purpose.

I thought the ERRORS sections were meant to be exhaustive - no other
errors are allowed.

In fact, we already use ENOENT when the current directory is unlinked,
and making getcwd(3) fail with ENOENT when it cannot obtain an absolute
path would be consistent with that traditional case.

Just the otherwise: "Implementations may support additional errors not
included in this list, may generate errors included in this list under
circumstances other than those described here, or may contain extensions
or limitations that prevent some errors from occurring."

I think this edition of the fix addresses all comments raised so far.
Is it OK to commit, or does anybody else have any more comments?

[PATCH v4] linux: make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path [BZ #22679]

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Currently getcwd(3) can succeed without returning an absolute path
because the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit
v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path.

This is a conformance issue because "The getcwd() function shall
place an absolute pathname of the current working directory
in the array pointed to by buf, and return buf".

This is also a security issue because a non-absolute path returned
by getcwd(3) causes a buffer underflow in realpath(3).

Fix this by checking the path returned by getcwd syscall and falling
back to generic_getcwd if the path is not absolute, effectively making
getcwd(3) fail with ENOENT.  The error code is chosen for consistency
with the case when the current directory is unlinked.

[BZ #22679]
CVE-2018-1000001
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c (__getcwd): Fall back to
generic_getcwd if the path returned by getcwd syscall is not absolute.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-getcwd-abspath.c: New test.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (tests): Add tst-getcwd-abspath.
---

This is the same patch as v3; I've just added information about
security implications.

Maybe also add this?

   cwd = realpath (".", NULL);
   TEST_VERIFY (cwd == NULL);
   TEST_COMPARE (errno, ENOENT);

I assume that we expect to fail realpath with ENOENT as well.

Thanks,

I don't mind adding this, but where do we stop?
This is a test of getcwd, after all.

The check for errno should go first because TEST_VERIFY potentially
clobbers errno (it invokes printf).

The patch as such looks good to me.  The test case should go into the 
top-level io directory, where getcwd resides.  I don't think it is 
Linux-specific.  Can you move it and commit it?

I still think we should have a realpath test as well, but that should 
delaying committing this fix.

Florian

This appears to cause a failure in a gluster component:

https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2018-January/033293.html

I have a longer strace, but it is quite difficult to read because of the 
way chdir is used in a multi-threaded process.

What seems to happen is that we execve rsync with a current directory 
that has been lazily unmounted.  The current directory after the execve 
is unreachable from theroot, and we run into this rsync failure path

/* Like chdir(), but it keeps track of the current directory (in the
  * global "curr_dir"), and ensures that the path size doesn't overflow.
  * Also cleans the path using the clean_fname() function. */
int change_dir(const char *dir, int set_path_only)
{
	static int initialised, skipped_chdir;
	unsigned int len;

	if (!initialised) {
		initialised = 1;
		if (getcwd(curr_dir, sizeof curr_dir - 1) == NULL) {
			rsyserr(FERROR, errno, "getcwd()");
			exit_cleanup(RERR_FILESELECT);
		}
		curr_dir_len = strlen(curr_dir);
	}

during initialization of the rsync process.  This happens even if the 
current directory is never used because all rsync paths are absolute, 
and also with --ignore-missing-args:

There has been another issue in this area:

http://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-April/030534.html

This was worked around with --ignore-missing-args, but rsync never gets 
to this point after the getcwd change.

I don't see how we can avoid fixing rsync (probably by caching the 
getcwd failure during initialization and reporting it only if the 
directory is used afterwards).

Any comments?

Thanks,
Florian

This will also fail when rsync is started from a directory that has
since been removed, where getcwd (even the syscall) has always returned
an error.  So this isn't a new failure.

That's a good point.  I still don't see how we can avoid fixing rsync.

I don't see why rsync shouldn't be fixed.
