bus driver: factor out bus_driver_check_caller_is_privileged, and allow root

Unlike the initial mitigation for CVE-2014-8148, we now allow
uid 0 to call UpdateActivationEnvironment. There's no point in root
doing that, but there's also no reason why it's particularly bad -
if an attacker is uid 0 we've already lost - and it simplifies
use of this function for future things that do want to be callable
by root, like BecomeMonitor for #46787.

Hardening: reject UpdateActivationEnvironment on non-canonical path

UpdateActivationEnvironment is the one dbus-daemon API call that is
obviously dangerous (it is intended for the session bus),
so the default system.conf does not allow anyone to call it.

It has recently come to the D-Bus maintainers' attention that some
system services incorrectly install D-Bus policy rules that allow
arbitrary method calls to any destination as long as they have a
"safe" object path. This is not actually safe: some system services
that use low-level D-Bus bindings like libdbus, including dbus-daemon
itself, provide the same API on all object paths.

Unauthorized calls to UpdateActivationEnvironment are probably just
resource consumption rather than privilege escalation, because on
the system bus, the modified environment is only used to execute
a setuid wrapper that avoids LD_PRELOAD etc. via normal setuid
handling, and sanitizes its own environment before executing
the real service. However, it's safest to assume the worst and
treat it as a potential privilege escalation.

Accordingly, as a hardening measure to avoid privilege escalation on
systems with these faulty services, stop allowing calls to
("/com/example/Whatever",
"org.freedesktop.DBus.UpdateActivationEnvironment")
and only allow ("/org/freedesktop/DBus",
"org.freedesktop.DBus.UpdateActivationEnvironment").

We deliberately continue to provide read-only APIs like
GetConnectionUnixUser at all object paths, for backwards compatibility.

This reverts commit 54d26df52b6a394bea175651d1d7ad2ab3f87dea.

It appears this change may cause intermittent slow or failed boot,
more commonly on slower/older machines, in at least Mageia and
possibly also Debian. This would indicate that while the system
is under load, system services are not completing authentication
within 5 seconds.

This change was not the main part of fixing CVE-2014-3639, but does
help to mitigate that attack. As such, increasing this timeout makes
the denial of service attack described by CVE-2014-3639 somewhat
more effective: a local user connecting to the system bus repeatedly
from many parallel processes can cause other users' attempts to
connect to take longer.

If your machine boots reliably with the shorter timeout, and
resilience against local denial of service attacks is important
to you, putting this in /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf
or a file matching /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*.conf can restore
the lower limit:

    <busconfig>

Simon McVittie [Mon, 8 Sep 2014 19:18:22 +0000 (20:18 +0100)]
Consistently save and restore errno

Some functions in dbus-transport-socket.c make a (wrapped)
socket syscall, then call other APIs, then test the result and
errno of the socket syscall.

This would break horribly if those "other APIs" overwrote errno with
their own value (... and this is part of why errno is an awful API).

Notably, if running under DBUS_VERBOSE, _dbus_verbose() is basically
fprintf(), which sets errno; and our Unix fd-passing support
makes calls of the form _dbus_verbose ("Read/wrote %i unix fds\n", n)
between the syscall and the result processing.

Maybe one day we'll convert all of dbus' syscall wrappers to either
raise a DBusError, or use the "negative errno" convention that systemd
borrowed from the Linux kernel, and in particular, we would need to
do that if we ever ported it to a platform where socket error reporting
was not basically errno. However, in practice everyone uses something
derived from BSD sockets, so "this sets errno, you know what errno is"
is a good enough internal API if we make sure to use it correctly.

Nothing calls _dbus_get_is_errno_nonzero(), so I just removed it instead
of converting it to the new calling convention.
