Re: [hlds_linux] serious security issue on CSS servers, exposed system command

Re: [hlds_linux] serious security issue on CSS servers, exposed system command
And you think you aren't able to execute system commands using metamod? Anything which ends up being a binary can contain malicious code which will then be executed.

Re: [hlds_linux] serious security issue on CSS servers, exposed system command
You do understand the point that plugins are binaries and therefore may contain code you do not want them to have? So there are two solutions to your concern: 1. Disable any server plugins (disallow write access to the addons folder) 2. Secure your gameserver install There is no other solution to this. Also you are talking about this plugin. The plugin doesn't do any magic. It simply uses the system() call to execute a standalone binary. In case you decide to block the system() command using LD_PRELOAD or something alike the malicious user can simply use assembly to call the functions needed to spawn a shell on the server.

Re: [hlds_linux] Setting up GDB to Automatically Run Server and Log Segfault Backtraces
Hi, You might simply let the srcds core-dump and then load the file using gdb (ulimit -c unlimited will produce a core-dump on segfault (-debug parameters enables this but limits the core size to 2000 which often is not enough resulting in corrupt core dumps)). Regards, Philip Lorenz dackz wrote: If you've been running into issues with the server crashing, you might find running the server under GDB useful for seeing where the server crashed. Of course the only problem with this is when GDB stops running the program, it just returns a command prompt and awaits your input, instead of restarting the server. This is the Bash script I'm using to start my DOD:S server right now: #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH dtach -n ./terminal.dod1 -r winch taskset 0x000C -- gdb -q -batch -x ./gdbinit \ --args ./srcds_i686 -debug \ -game dod \ -pidfile ../pid.dod1 \ -tickrate 33 \ +ip 1.2.3.4 \ +hostname Hostname \ +map dod_donner \ +maxplayers 26 \ dtach mimicks screen's detach feature and taskset relegates gdb and srcds to processors 2 and 3 (I'm running two processors with HT). Anyway, the good parts are gdb's switches. -q starts it in quiet mode, so it doesn't print anything except the prompt when you start it. -batch removes the prompt entirely and instead executes a series of commands specified in the file chosen by the -x switch. In my gdbinit file, I have the following: set logging on while 1 run bt end The first makes gdb log all of its own output to gdb.txt in the current working directory. run starts the program of course, and when the program finishes running, it runs bt (short for backtrace). If the server segfaults, this will print a backtrace of where it crashed. Or more simply, it'll print the function in which the server crashed, and the list of functions that were called to get to that point. After the program quits, it restarts it again. This is definitely useful for keeping the server up, but it can be annoying if you're trying to forcibly quit the server. If that's the case, you should probably just run quit once and then hit ^C two times to exit gdb. Anyway, hopefully someone will find this information useful. I'm really only running gdb on my production server at the moment because the source server crashes without it due to some sort of incompatibility with my kernel, but it's still useful for getting real crash information in real situations for reporting bugs. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

I have looked around when those problems occur (i.e. connection refused). Those mainly (if not always) happened after the server had crashed on had been rebooted via rcon quit. So after all there are two solutions: 1. On rcon quit the listening socket does not seem to be closed properly - i.e. add a close() call to the socket 2. Refuse to start if port is already in use - a good addition as it would keep the server in a restart-loop until the port if available again. Hope this helps you tracking down the problem.

Philip Morten Aare wrote: Yep, I must agree on the status thing, if for a different reason also. I did my own realtime stats and admin server frontend for hlds. It works by parsing the log output realtime using the logaddress and a java server application and it uses rcon status to keep track of the users on the server (well, actually it just uses it to correct for the fact that packets containing connects/disconnects might be lost and also it seems that hlds sometimes forgets to write some disconnect events in the log - is this a bug other people have noticed or am I just not parsing the log well enough?). I haven't been able to get srcds running on my Debian stable servers so I haven't tested it, but I have heard rumors (on this list as far as I remember) that the new rcon status command doesn't include the user SteamID. This seems very impractical for many different reasons. In my own case it's annoying because my whole system is based on a unique player ID derived from the SteamID. In this way I can avoid people cheating on their stats by just changing their name etc. So please, please dont change the rcon status output info without good reason to do so. I can understand why you might want to restrict normal user access to SteamIDs (as earlier with IPs) but server admins can always find this information in the logs anyway, right? The layout is not really a big concern as I have no problem with adapting my parser to a different format if necessary, but the info should not be limited in the rcon status. I am a big fan of the old saying Don't fix it if it ain't broke - and I dont see anything broken here. If you have good reason to change it there really isn't a lot for us to do about it, but please tell us why.

If I am able to pass on what limited knowledge I have to end of helping someone, then I will do so.
