Security hardening: force EXTERNAL auth in session.conf on Unix

DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 is dependent on unguessable strings, i.e.
indirectly dependent on high-quality pseudo-random numbers
whereas EXTERNAL authentication (credentials-passing)
is mediated by the kernel and cannot be faked.

On Windows, EXTERNAL authentication is not available,
so we continue to use the hard-coded default (all
authentication mechanisms are tried).

Users of tcp: or nonce-tcp: on Unix will have to comment
this out, but they would have had to use a special
configuration anyway (to set the listening address),
and the tcp: and nonce-tcp: transports are inherently
insecure unless special steps are taken to have them
restricted to a VPN or SSH tunnelling.

Users of obscure Unix platforms (those that trigger
the warning "Socket credentials not supported on this Unix OS"
when compiling dbus-sysdeps-unix.c) might also have to
comment this out, or preferably provide a tested patch
to enable credentials-passing on that OS.

DBusCounter: add a mutex to protect the refcount and notify function

The overall problem here is that DBusCounter is indirectly linked
to a DBusConnection, but is not actually guaranteed to be protected by
that connection's mutex; and a DBusMessage can carry a reference to the
DBusCounter, resulting in freeing that DBusMessage having an effect on
the DBusCounter.

Making the refcount atomic would not be a sufficient fix, since it would
not protect the notify function: _dbus_counter_notify() could be called
indirectly by dbus_message_unref(), in an arbitrary thread that does not
hold the DBusConnection's lock, at the same time that the holder
of the DBusConnection lock calls _dbus_transport_set_max_message_size().

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:

_dbus_read_socket_with_unix_fds: do not accept extra fds in cmsg padding

This addresses CVE-2014-3635.

If (*n_fds * sizeof (int) % sizeof (size_t)) is nonzero,
then CMSG_SPACE (*n_fds * sizeof (int)) > CMSG_LEN (*n_fds * sizeof (int)
because the SPACE includes padding to a size_t boundary, whereas the LEN
does not. We have to allocate the SPACE. Previously, we told the kernel
that the buffer size we wanted was the SPACE, not the LEN, which meant
it was free to fill the padding with additional fds: on a 64-bit
platform with 32-bit int, that's one extra fd, if *n_fds happens
to be odd.

This meant that a malicious sender could send exactly 1 fd too many,
which would make us fail an assertion if enabled, or overrun a buffer
by 1 fd otherwise.

config: change DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS to 16

This addresses CVE-2014-3636.

Based on a patch by Alban Crequy. Now that it's the same on all
platforms, there's little point in it being set by configure/cmake.

This change fixes two distinct denials of service:

fd.o#82820, part A
------------------

Before this patch, the system bus had the following default configuration:
- max_connections_per_user: 256
- DBUS_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS: usually 1024 (or 256 on QNX, see fd.o#61176)
  as defined by configure.ac
- max_incoming_unix_fds: DBUS_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS*4 = usually 4096
- max_outgoing_unix_fds: DBUS_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS*4 = usually 4096
- max_message_unix_fds: DBUS_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS = usually 1024

This means that a single user could create 256 connections and transmit
256*4096 = 1048576 file descriptors.

The file descriptors stay attached to the dbus-daemon process while they are
in the message loader, in the outgoing queue or waiting to be dispatched before
D-Bus activation.

dbus-daemon is usually limited to 65536 file descriptors (ulimit -n). If the
limit is reached and dbus-daemon needs to receive a message with a file
descriptor attached, this is signalled by recvfrom with the flag MSG_CTRUNC.
Dbus-daemon cannot recover from that error because the kernel does not have any
API to retrieve a file descriptor which has been discarded with MSG_CTRUNC.
Therefore, it closes the connection of the sender. This is not necessarily the
connection which generated the most file descriptors so it can lead to
denial-of-service attacks.

In order to prevent DoS issues, this patch reduces DEFAULT_MESSAGE_UNIX_FDS to
16:

max_connections_per_user * max_incoming_unix_fds = 256 * 64 = 16384

This is less than the usual "ulimit -n" (65536) with a good margin to
accomodate the other sources of file descriptors (stdin/stdout/stderr,
listening sockets, message loader, etc.).

Distributors on non-Linux may need to configure a smaller limit in
system.conf, if their limit on the number of fds is smaller than
Linux's.

fd.o#82820, part B
------------------

On Linux, it's not possible to send more than 253 fds in a single sendmsg()
call: sendmsg() would return -EINVAL.
  #define SCM_MAX_FD      253

SCM_MAX_FD changed value during Linux history:
- it used to be (OPEN_MAX-1)
- commit c09edd6eb (Jul 2007) changed it to 255
- commit bba14de98 (Nov 2010) changed it to 253

Libdbus always sends all of a message's fds, and the beginning
of the message itself, in a single sendmsg() call. Combining these
two, a malicious sender could split a message across two or more
sendmsg() calls to construct a composite message with 254 or more
fds. When dbus-daemon attempted to relay that message to its
recipient in a single sendmsg() call, it would receive EINVAL,
interpret that as a fatal socket error and disconnect the recipient,
resulting in denial of service.

This is fixed by keeping max_message_unix_fds <= SCM_MAX_FD.

Alban Crequy [Tue, 20 May 2014 13:37:37 +0000 (14:37 +0100)]
CVE-2014-3477: deliver activation errors correctly, fixing Denial of Service

How it should work:

When a D-Bus message activates a service, LSMs (SELinux or AppArmor) check
whether the message can be delivered after the service has been activated. The
service is considered activated when its well-known name is requested with
org.freedesktop.DBus.RequestName. When the message delivery is denied, the
service stays activated but should not receive the activating message (the
message which triggered the activation). dbus-daemon is supposed to drop the
activating message and reply to the sender with a D-Bus error message.

However, it does not work as expected:

1. The error message is delivered to the service instead of being delivered to
   the sender. As an example, the error message could be something like:

     An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this
     message to this recipient, [...] member="MaliciousMethod"

   If the sender and the service are malicious confederates and agree on a
   protocol to insert information in the member name, the sender can leak
   information to the service, even though the LSM attempted to block the
   communication between the sender and the service.

2. The error message is delivered as a reply to the RequestName call from
   service. It means the activated service will believe it cannot request the
   name and might exit. The sender could activate the service frequently and
   systemd will give up activating it. Thus the denial of service.

The following changes fix the bug:
- bus_activation_send_pending_auto_activation_messages() only returns an error
  in case of OOM. The prototype is changed to return TRUE, or FALSE on OOM
  (and its only caller sets the OOM error).
- When a client is not allowed to talk to the service, a D-Bus error message
  is pre-allocated to be delivered to the client as part of the transaction.
  The error is not propagated to the caller so RequestName will not fail
  (except on OOM).

10 years agoAvoid killing all available processes if an X error arrives early on
Роман Донченко [Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:11:56 +0000 (19:11 +0100)]
Avoid killing all available processes if an X error arrives early on

The timeline of events in dbus-launch's main process goes something like this:

* do initial X calls
[1]
* do some other stuff
* fork
    (child process starts doing some other stuff)
* return "intermediate parent" pid from fork()
* obtain bus daemon pid from bus_pid_to_launcher_pipe
[2]
* do things that might include X11 calls or killing the dbus-daemon

Meanwhile, the "babysitter" child goes like this:

* return 0 from fork()
[3]
* obtain bus daemon pid from parent process via bus_pid_to_babysitter_pipe
[4]
* do things that might include X11 calls or killing the bus daemon

Before [1] or [3], the right thing to do about an X error is to just
exit. The current implementation called kill(-1) first, which is
undesirable: it kills unrelated processes. With this change, we
just exit.

After [2] or [4], the right thing to do is to kill the dbus-daemon,
and that's what the existing code did.

Between [1] and [2], or between [3] and [4], there is no correct thing
that we can do immediately: we would have to wait for the end of the
"critical section", *then* kill the dbus-daemon. This has not yet been
implemented, so this patch relies for its correctness on the fact that
there are no libX11 calls between those points, so we cannot receive
an X error between them.

dbus-launch deserves more comments, or a reimplementation that is easier to
understand, but this change is certainly better than nothing.

10 years agoTry to read /etc/machine-id before inventing a new /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
Simon McVittie [Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:51:26 +0000 (18:51 +0100)]
Try to read /etc/machine-id before inventing a new /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

It's least confusing if the two files have the same contents. systemd
already knows how to pick up our /var/lib/dbus/machine-id if it exists
and /etc/machine-id doesn't, but the converse is not currently true.
We should make it true, so that it doesn't matter what order
systemd-machine-id-setup and "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" were
invoked in.

In Debian, systemd currently Recommends dbus, so "dbus-uuidgen --ensure"
will *usually* - but not always! - run first, and the two files will
match. However, if you install systemd without dbus, and then install
dbus later, there will be a mismatch. With this change, it doesn't
matter which one is installed first: whichever one happens to come
first, it will generate the machine ID, and then the other one will
copy it.
