Simon McVittie [Thu, 30 May 2019 11:53:03 +0000 (12:53 +0100)]
auth: Reject DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 for users other than the server owner

The DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 authentication mechanism aims to prove ownership
of a shared home directory by having the server write a secret "cookie"
into a .dbus-keyrings subdirectory of the desired identity's home
directory with 0700 permissions, and having the client prove that it can
read the cookie. This never actually worked for non-malicious clients in
the case where server uid != client uid (unless the server and client
both have privileges, such as Linux CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE or traditional
Unix uid 0) because an unprivileged server would fail to write out the
cookie, and an unprivileged client would be unable to read the resulting
file owned by the server.

Additionally, since dbus 1.7.10 we have checked that ~/.dbus-keyrings
is owned by the uid of the server (a side-effect of a check added to
harden our use of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR), further ruling out successful use
by a non-malicious client with a uid differing from the server's.

Joe Vennix of Apple Information Security discovered that the
implementation of DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 was susceptible to a symbolic link
attack: a malicious client with write access to its own home directory
could manipulate a ~/.dbus-keyrings symlink to cause the DBusServer to
read and write in unintended locations. In the worst case this could
result in the DBusServer reusing a cookie that is known to the
malicious client, and treating that cookie as evidence that a subsequent
client connection came from an attacker-chosen uid, allowing
authentication bypass.

This is mitigated by the fact that by default, the well-known system
dbus-daemon (since 2003) and the well-known session dbus-daemon (in
stable releases since dbus 1.10.0 in 2015) only accept the EXTERNAL
authentication mechanism, and as a result will reject DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
at an early stage, before manipulating cookies. As a result, this
vulnerability only applies to:

* system or session dbus-daemons with non-standard configuration
* third-party dbus-daemon invocations such as at-spi2-core (although
  in practice at-spi2-core also only accepts EXTERNAL by default)
* third-party uses of DBusServer such as the one in Upstart

Avoiding symlink attacks in a portable way is difficult, because APIs
like openat() and Linux /proc/self/fd are not universally available.
However, because DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 already doesn't work in practice for
a non-matching uid, we can solve this vulnerability in an easier way
without regressions, by rejecting it early (before looking at
~/.dbus-keyrings) whenever the requested identity doesn't match the
identity of the process hosting the DBusServer.

5 years agobus: Try to raise soft fd limit to match hard limit
Simon McVittie [Mon, 11 Mar 2019 09:03:39 +0000 (09:03 +0000)]
bus: Try to raise soft fd limit to match hard limit

Linux systems have traditionally set the soft limit to 1024 and the hard
limit to 4096. Recent versions of systemd keep the soft fd limit at
1024 to avoid breaking programs that still use select(), but raise the
hard limit to 512*1024, while in recent Debian versions a complicated
interaction between components gives a soft limit of 1024 and a hard
limit of 1024*1024. If we can, we might as well elevate our soft limit
to match the hard limit, minimizing the chance that we will run out of
file descriptor slots.

Unlike the previous code to raise the hard and soft limits to at least
65536, we do this even if we don't have privileges: privileges are
unnecessary to raise the soft limit up to the hard limit.

If we *do* have privileges, we also continue to raise the hard and soft
limits to at least 65536 if they weren't already that high, making
it harder to carry out a denial of service attack on the system bus on
systems that use the traditional limit (CVE-2014-7824).

As was previously the case on the system bus, we'll drop the limits back
to our initial limits before we execute a subprocess for traditional
(non-systemd) activation, if enabled.

systemd activation doesn't involve us starting subprocesses at all,
so in both cases activated services will still inherit the same limits
they did previously.

This change also fixes a bug when the hard limit is very large but
the soft limit is not, for example seen as a regression when upgrading
to systemd >= 240 (Debian #928877). In such environments, dbus-daemon
would previously have changed its fd limit to 64K soft/64K hard. Because
this hard limit is less than its original hard limit, it was unable to
restore its original hard limit as intended when carrying out traditional
activation, leaving activated subprocesses with unintended limits (while
logging a warning).

configure.ac: Forbid AX_-prefixed patterns more selectively

We want to make autoconf fail early and with a user-comprehensible
message if autoconf-archive isn't installed, rather than generating
a configure script with syntax errors, or a configure script that runs
successfully but doesn't do what we intended.

However, autoconf-archive doesn't actually guarantee not to use
AX_-prefixed shell variable names without m4_pattern_allow'ing them
(unlike Autoconf, Automake, Libtool and pkg-config, which explicitly use
m4_pattern_allow for variables with AC_, AM_, LT_ and PKG_ prefixes), so
it isn't safe to assume that they won't be used. In particular, recent
versions of AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE appear to be using
$AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE_HEADLINE as a shell variable.

Instead, specifically forbid the names of the finite list of macros
that we actually use.

dbus-daemon test: Allow much longer for pending fd timeout

The timeout we're using here is 0.5s (500ms), but the actual time taken
is unbounded, because the OS scheduler might not schedule our process
for an arbitrary length of time after we become runnable.

We previously allowed up to 1 second, but in the CI jobs for dbus!9
and dbus!18 we've seen this take up to 3.4 seconds (presumably
because other tests, or other jobs running on the same shared
infrastructure, starved this process). Allow up to 10 seconds to guard
against spurious failures.

The timeout used in the production system.conf is 150 seconds (2½
minutes), and we're only using the shorter 500ms timeout here to make
the test complete more quickly, so Â±10 seconds is relatively
insignificant: the main thing is that it's finite.

Simon McVittie [Mon, 22 Oct 2018 10:45:45 +0000 (11:45 +0100)]
build: Never use poll() on Darwin family (macOS, etc.) or Interix

Doing a runtime check in configure.ac (AC_RUN_IFELSE) has several
disadvantages:

* It doesn't work when cross-compiling. For example, if we build macOS
  binaries on a Linux system, we'd assume that poll() works, but in
  fact it won't.

* It checks the build system capabilities, but that is not necessarily
  appropriate if (for example) a macOS 10.10 user builds binaries that
  could be used by macOS 10.12 or macOS 10.9 users.

* It checks for one specific failure mode, but macOS seems to have a
  history of various implementation issues in poll().

* If we want it to work in CMake, we have to duplicate it in the CMake
  build system.

None of these is a showstopper on its own, but the combination of all
of them makes the current approach to avoiding the broken poll() on
macOS look unreliable. libcurl, a widely-portable library making
extensive use of sockets, specifically doesn't use poll() on Darwin
(macOS, iOS, etc.) or on Interix; let's follow their example here.

See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302672 and

Simon McVittie [Mon, 23 Jul 2018 17:52:01 +0000 (18:52 +0100)]
sysdeps: Reassure gcc 8 that we are not overflowing struct sockaddr_un

Using strncpy (buffer, str, strlen (str)) is a "code smell" that
might indicate a serious bug (it effectively turns strncpy into
strcpy), and gcc 8 now warns about it. In fact we avoided the bug
here, but it wasn't at all obvious.

We already checked that path_len is less than or equal to
_DBUS_MAX_SUN_PATH_LENGTH, which is 99, chosen to be strictly less
than the POSIX minimum sizeof(sun_path) >= 100, so we couldn't
actually be overflowing the available buffer.

The new static assertion in this commit matches a comment above the
definition of _DBUS_MAX_SUN_PATH_LENGTH: we define
_DBUS_MAX_SUN_PATH_LENGTH to 99, because POSIX says struct
sockaddr_un's sun_path member is at least 100 bytes (including space
for a \0 terminator). dbus will now fail to compile on
platforms that are non-POSIX-compliant in this way, except for Windows.

We zeroed the struct sockaddr_un before writing into it, so stopping
one byte short of the end of sun_path ensures that we get \0
termination.

On some systems this can be circumvented by using nss_wrapper from

    # listening at tcp:host=127.0.0.1,port=39219,family=ipv4,guid=...

but for systems where that does't work, we should be prepared to skip
the affected tests.

sysdeps-unix: Handle errors from getaddrinfo correctly

getaddrinfo and getnameinfo have their own error-handling convention
in which the library call returns either 0 or an EAI_* error code
unrelated to errno. If the error code is not EAI_SYSTEM, then
the value of errno is undefined (in particular it might be carried
over from a previous system call or library call). Introduce a
new helper function _dbus_error_from_gai() to handle this.

The equivalent code paths in Windows appear to be OK: the Windows
implementation of getaddrinfo() is documented to return a Winsock
error code, which we seem to be handling correctly.
