Bug#508867: stale nfs filehandle
severity grave tags 508867 security thanks On Thu, 29 Jan 2009, Tim Connors wrote: Hmmm, Trond reckons this race condition always has existed in the kernel, implying that since userland can work around it, it should: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557 Would it be possible to, upon an ESTALE return result from the acccess() call, to open() the file instead, and then perform an access() if indeed the latter is then still necessary? That might be sufficient to invalidate the cache (since catting the Xauthority file or running xauth list seems to invalidate the cache). As a test, I commented out the access() calls in AuGetAddr.c that are commented as saying checks REAL id, and this bug disappears. But now that I know the purpose of the access() call, I presume this is because suid programs like xterm link against libxau6, and thus need to check the access permissions of $XAUTHORITY using the real uid/gid rather than the effective uid/gid. Unfortunately, as per access(2): Warning: Using access() to check if a user is authorized to, for example, open a file before actually doing so using open(2) creates a security hole, because the user might exploit the short time interval between checking and opening the file to manipulate it. For this reason, the use of this system call should be avoided. So, it looks like to my untrained eye that one could set XAUTHORITY=/tmp/hack/wtmp, where /tmp/hack is a symlink to a directory called /tmp/hack.1, on the same filesystem as /var/log. Then get libxau6 to read the contents of /tmp/hack/wtmp, then racily change the symlink of /tmp/hack to point to /var/log before libxau6 writes the new $XAUTHORITY back out to disk, and voila, corrupt the contents of /var/log/wtmp or any other file of gid of /usr/bin/xterm. Would it be better to temporarily drop priveleges and just do an open() instead which will also have the side benefit of closing this bug and the alleged security bug above? As it stands, the access() presumably isn't adding much security as per above, so should be removed altogether, also closing this bug (just leaving the security bug that exists anyway, but /var/log/wtmp is not that critical anyway). -- TimC Entropy isn't what it used to be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
