Re: [MapServer-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate

[Lernout, Matthew via MapServer-users]

I think I've stumbled into what is causing my issue.

I was making requests to the endpoint /cgi-bin/mapserv.exe? (which is what I 
used in 7.6.2)

When I change request to the endpoint /cgi-bin/? (no mapserv.exe) my requests 
work and validate as expected.

I'm not sure why this is the case - if I swap my FastCGI back to point to the 
7.6.2 module it serves requests at /mapserv.exe, but with 8.0.1 including the 
executable as part of the path causes issues with map validation.

In any case, I can work around this by updating all the web apps to point to 
the new path (maybe also add in a URL Rewrite).

Thanks,
Matt

So, still banging my head against this a month later after eliminating HTTPS as 
the bogeyman.

Using FastCGI and MapServer with the simplest config and what should be an 
"allow everything" test expression:

CONFIG
  ENV
   MS_MAP_PATTERN "."
  END
END

And all requests return:
msLoadMap(): Regular expression error. Filename validation failed.

BONUS: If I strip out the map variable from my request, I'd expect the error 
"CGI variable "map" is not set." but I still get "msLoadMap(): Regular 
expression error. Filename validation failed." even without providing a map! 
This is following IISRESET, and I know the config is being loaded (if I remove 
it, I get "msLoadConfig(): Unable to access file")

If I'm not supplying a map parameter in my request and it's not throwing an 
error that it's missing, what is being used for map value against the 
expression? (And how do I get it to read my variable in the request?)

Thanks for any direction,
Matt

Hi,

After scratching my head for a while, realized all my testing was over HTTPS. 
Made a localhost connection over HTTP and the map variable was then valid.
I was looking in the wrong place - the error reports a failed validation, but 
that's due to failed certificate trust from what I can see.
Thanks for helping me steer into the real issue - I now have a direction to 
move in!

Hi,

"." works for me.

I have a Windows env set first as
set MAPSERVER_CONFIG_FILE=\ms4w\ms4w.conf
These are the meaningful lines in the "ms4w.conf" file.
CONFIG
  ENV
   MS_MAP_PATTERN "."
  END
END

Test proves that validation is successful

http://localhost:8060/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=f:\IMS_Maps\Client\projectarea.map

I've ensured I am restarting the mapserv process with each config change - a 
quick test of commenting out the MS_MAP_PATTERN variable confirmed that is 
enough to refresh the config via error.

Here's a snippet of a sample request. It works with my running instance of 
Mapserver 7.6.2 but doesn't pass validation (pattern '.') in MapServer 8.0.1.

/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=f:\IMS_Maps\Client\projectarea.map

Hi Matthew,

The CONFIG file I think is only reloaded when IIS or the Application Pool is 
restarted, so some changes to the regex may have been ignored.
Do you have a sample request with the = parameter? Is there anything in a 
web.config file that could be stripping these out or modifying them?

Re: [MapServer-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate

[Lernout, Matthew via MapServer-users]

I've ensured I am restarting the mapserv process with each config change - a 
quick test of commenting out the MS_MAP_PATTERN variable confirmed that is 
enough to refresh the config via error.

Here's a snippet of a sample request. It works with my running instance of 
Mapserver 7.6.2 but doesn't pass validation (pattern '.') in MapServer 8.0.1.

/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=f:\IMS_Maps\Client\projectarea.map

Hi Matthew,

The CONFIG file I think is only reloaded when IIS or the Application Pool is 
restarted, so some changes to the regex may have been ignored.
Do you have a sample request with the = parameter? Is there anything in a 
web.config file that could be stripping these out or modifying them?

Re: [MapServer-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate

[Lernout, Matthew via MapServer-users]

MS_MAP_PATTERN '.' also results in the same failed validation error, which is 
what makes me think the issue may be with another config setting. '.' should 
match any input, right?

Just to make sure my config file was being loaded, I commented out the 
MS_MAP_PATTERN entry entirely, and got the error "msCGILoadMap(): Web 
application error. Required configuration value MS_MAP_PATTERN not set."

Re: [MapServer-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate

[Rahkonen Jukka via MapServer-users]

Hi,

This one that is slightly edited from the MS4W config file works for me

MS_MAP_PATTERN 
"^(C:)?\/ms4w_data\/((?!\.{2})[_A-Za-z0-9\-\.]+\/{1})*([_A-Za-z0-9\-\.]+\.(map))$"

I am not a regexp expert but it seems like a slash must be escaped with a 
backslash.

Hi,

Having trouble making requests since updating to 8.0.1 from 7.6.2.
Mapserver is running in IIS using FastCGI and the configuration steps from: 
https://mapserver.org/installation/iis.html

A new config file was added to the filesystem and server Environment variables 
as per documented requirements added since 7.6.3, but having trouble validating 
any map arguments. All requests return the error "CGI variable "map" fails to 
validate" even though regexp should pass based on expression tests.

Here is the full config file in use:

CONFIG

Re: [mapserver-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

[Steve Lime via mapserver-users]

I should note that 7.6.3 (also 7.4.5, 7.2.3 and 7.0.8) should make defining
a value for MS_MAP_PATTERN much simpler. We updated things to use two
filters instead of one. The first, MS_MAP_BAD_PATTERN, checks for
problematic character sequences in the map value, for example /./, /../ or
// and fails if there is a match. This means you don't have to account for
those with MS_MAP_PATTERN alone and you can just write something simple
like:

  MS_MAP_PATTERN "^\/etc\/mapserver"

You need to be running the latest version for this to work as intended and
of course that's strongly recommended.

Re: [mapserver-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

[Jeff McKenna via mapserver-users]

Hi David,

MS4W also uses PCRE for its regex engine, so Windows users will soon be 
facing these same issues as you (I'll be making this as easy as possible 
for the new Windows users).


So to answer your question: I believe most users aren't yet aware of 
what regex engine they use, and, also I believe that the PCRE regex 
engine is used more frequently in the MapServer community than what is 
believed.  (most automated tests do not use PCRE, for example, even 
though it is so commonly used)


I'm not sure if I have the answer that you need, but I wanted to give a 
perspective from the Windows side.


-jeff

Hi Steve,
your pattern works like a charm... escaped hyphen was the issue. I 
tested the previous regex with regex101.com  and it 
matches with no problems against most of the available variants except 
PCRE. Which regex engine is suitable for a test against MapServer?


Thank you.

Hi David: Presumably the Docker image is running the most recent
version of 7.4 which would have that pull request applied. That
said, I don't think it's the culprit here and I have seen some
issues with -'s where the MS_MAP_PATTERN expression compiles fine
but doesn't match as expected. Re-writing the expression to move the
- character can help. Try this:

  
MS_MAP_PATTERN=^\/etc\/mapserver\/([^\.][-_A-Za-z0-9\.]+\/{1})*([-_A-Za-z0-9\.]+\.map)$

[David Pavlíček via mapserver-users]

Hi Steve,
your pattern works like a charm... escaped hyphen was the issue. I tested
the previous regex with regex101.com and it matches with no problems
against most of the available variants except PCRE. Which regex engine is
suitable for a test against MapServer?

Thank you.

Re: [mapserver-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

[Steve Lime via mapserver-users]

Hi David: Presumably the Docker image is running the most recent version of
7.4 which would have that pull request applied. That said, I don't think
it's the culprit here and I have seen some issues with -'s where the
MS_MAP_PATTERN expression compiles fine but doesn't match as expected.
Re-writing the expression to move the - character can help. Try this:


MS_MAP_PATTERN=^\/etc\/mapserver\/([^\.][-_A-Za-z0-9\.]+\/{1})*([-_A-Za-z0-9\.]+\.map)$

[mapserver-users] CGI variable "map" fails to validate.

[David Pavlíček via mapserver-users]

Hello,
I'm using camptocamp/mapserver:7.4 docker image to run mapserver on our
servers and I have recently encountered this error:

[warn] [pid 25] mod_fcgid: stderr: msCGILoadMap(): Web application error.
CGI variable "map" fails to validate.
2098 - 172.17.0.1 - - [02/Jun/2021:04:57:42 +] "GET
/?map=/etc/mapserver/puobod/krpk-puobod-red.map=getcapabilities=WMS"

In fact, any mapfile with hyphens won't work. They fail against
MS_MAP_PATTERN regex or something. This is strange because I tested this
regex and it works fine. Container MS ENV variables look like this:

MS_ERRORFILE=stderr
MS_MAP_PATTERN=^\/etc\/mapserver\/([^\.][_A-Za-z0-9\-\.]+\/{1})*([_A-Za-z0-9\-\.]+\.map)$
MS_DEBUGLEVEL=0
MS_MAPFILE=/etc/mapserver/mapserver.map

Maybe something related to this PR:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6314

Any suggestions about that? Renaming project is not an option because they
