Package: libapache2-mpm-itk
Version: 2.4.6-01-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The current version of mpm-itk breaks code attempting to do legitimate
setuid-type operations because of the seccomp BPF protections.
The reason stems from the fact that -1 is a permitted argument for
syscalls that change multiple ID's at once, such as setresuid, to which
(uid_t) -1 can be passed to indicate "don't change this value."
Since (uid_t) -1 == 4294967295 for everything except the old 16-bit i386
syscalls, these do-nothing values well exceed the max_uid = 65535, and
so these calls are blocked. Thus code which *should* be allowed (such
as setresuid(-1, currentid, -1) return EPERM.
In practice, this breaks anything that relies on uid changes that
*should* be permitted: in my case, a cgi script that invokes ssh fails
because ssh calls something with a -1 argument.
The attached patch updates the filters to extend the syscall argument
limits by allowing a specific value outside that min...max range, and -1
is passed for this value where needed. Thus in effect the uid/gid
syscall limits now allow anything in [min, max], and also -1.
With the patch, -1 is allowed for all the arguments of the blocked
syscalls except for __NR_setuid/__NR_setgid (and the ...32 version on
i386): -1 isn't a special value there. -1 isn't special for
__NR_setfsuid (and ...gid), either, but since man setfsuid specifically
suggests calling setfsuid a second time (with -1 as an argument) to
detect failures, I allowed it for those syscalls, too.
(I also had to reorganize the various limit_syscall_range code because
the -1 value ((__u16) -1 == 65535) for the i386, 16-bit __NR_set*uid
calls doesn't coincide with the ((uid_t) -1 == 4294967295) value of
non-i386's __NR_set*uid syscalls.)
I tested the code (on amd64) by extracting the capabilities and BPF
filter code into a test program, to make sure it was working, and indeed
it is: after the limits, all the restricted functions are indeed
restricted, while the various seteuid and related failures are now fixed.
