activation-helper: Ensure DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS is set correctly

The fix for CVE-2012-3524 filters out all environment variables if
libdbus is used from a setuid program, to prevent various spoofing
attacks.

Unfortunately, the activation helper is a setuid program linking
libdbus, and this creates a regression for launched programs using
DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, since it will no longer exist.

Fix this by hardcoding the starter address to the default system bus
address.

Colin Walters [Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:03:34 +0000 (10:03 -0400)]
CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables or run dbus-launch when setuid

This matches a corresponding change in GLib.  See
glib/gutils.c:g_check_setuid().

Some programs attempt to use libdbus when setuid; notably the X.org
server is shipped in such a configuration. libdbus never had an
explicit policy about its use in setuid programs.

I'm not sure whether we should advertise such support.  However, given
that there are real-world programs that do this currently, we can make
them safer with not too much effort.

Better to fix a problem caused by an interaction between two
components in *both* places if possible.

How to determine whether or not we're running in a privilege-escalated
path is operating system specific.  Note that GTK+'s code to check
euid versus uid worked historically on Unix, more modern systems have
filesystem capabilities and SELinux domain transitions, neither of
which are captured by the uid comparison.

On Linux/glibc, the way this works is that the kernel sets an
AT_SECURE flag in the ELF auxiliary vector, and glibc looks for it on
startup.  If found, then glibc sets a public-but-undocumented
__libc_enable_secure variable which we can use.  Unfortunately, while
it *previously* worked to check this variable, a combination of newer
binutils and RPM break it:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2012/08/14/1

So for now on Linux/glibc, we fall back to the historical Unix version
until we get glibc fixed.

On some BSD variants, there is a issetugid() function.  On other Unix
variants, we fall back to what GTK+ has been doing.

transport: add new unixexec transport on Unix

The "unixexec:" transport will create a local AF_UNIX socket with
socketpair(), then fork and execute a binary on one side with STDIN and
STDOUT connected to it and then use the other side.

This is useful to implement D-Bus tunneling schemes, for example to get
a D-Bus connection to the system bus on a different host, similar how
udisks is already doing it. (udisks uses SSH TCP tunneling for this,
which is a bit ugly and less secure than this solution).

Suggested use is with connection strings like the following:

  unixexec:path=ssh,argv1=foobar,argv2=system-bus-bridge

or:

  unixexec:path=pkexec,argv1=system-bus-bridge

or even:

  unixexec:path=sudo,argv1=system-bus-bridge

The first line would execute the binary 'system-bus-bridge' on host
'foobar' and then pass D-Bus traffic to it. This (hypothetical) bridge
binary would then forward the information to the local system bus.

The second and third line use this scheme locally to acquire a
privileged connection through pkexec resp. sudo: instead of connecting
directly to the bus, they use the same bridge binary which will forward
all information to the system bus.

The arguments of the protocol are 'path' for the first execlp()
argument, and argv0, argv1, and so on for the following arguments. argv0
can be left out in which case path will be used.
