Description Simon McVittie 2012-09-03 15:12:37 UTC
So far we have separate methods to get:

* the uid on Unix systems (documented)
* the pid on Unix systems (documented)
* the SID on Windows systems (undocumented in the spec, but it returns
  a string SID, e.g. "S-1-5-18" for LOCAL_SYSTEM)
* the SELinux context (an undocumented method returning a blob of bytes
  in an undocumented format)
* the Solaris (?) audit session data (an undocumented method returning
  a blob of bytes in an undocumented format)

On Bug #47581, Brian wants to add yet another method, this time for Smack, which I believe is Linux-specific. I don't really want to add it at all, and certainly not on the o.fd.DBus interface.

The Maemo libcreds developers had a patch to add yet another method, returning their libcreds identifiers (I forget what format that was in), again Linux-specific. Again, I resisted adding it to the o.fd.DBus interface.

There are a number of problems with one-method-per-credential:

* Platforms that don't have a particular form of credentials end up
  with methods that are completely useless to them. For instance,
  Ralf has complained that the SELinux stuff is pretty useless on
  Windows (Bug #32407).

* If you're something like PolicyKit and you want to find out all the
  credentials of a process, you have to call up to 5 methods
  (assuming Linux with an unknown LSM), which seems rather silly.
  D-Bus normally encourages round-trip reduction.

* The majority of the credentials-getting methods are undocumented.
  Perhaps if you're a SELinux expert, there is an obvious, intuitive
  interpretation of a byte-blob as a SELinux context, but I'm not a
  SELinux expert.

* The majority of the code in the credentials-getting methods is
  uninteresting boilerplate.

I propose to add this method:

    GetConnectionCredentials (s: Bus_Name) -> a{sv}: Credentials

which returns all of the credentials in one go. Each LSM (or whatever) can define its own payload for this method.

In-tree functionality should use a short name like "UnixUserID" and document it in the D-Bus Specification.

Out-of-tree patches can either document their extensions in the D-Bus Specification, or use a reversed-domain prefix like org.maemo.Libcreds.

a sketch of how to add Solaris ADT, SELinux and Windows credentials

We should support and document the other forms of credentials currently supported with undocumented methods, but I run Linux without a LSM, so I can't test any of them. So, here's my untested code. Someone who cares about each of these platforms should finish them off.

Ralf or other Windows people: I think the Windows parts of this patch are nearly implemented, if you want to finish them off and get that bit included. In particular, I documented what WindowsSID means.

Is the string form of a SID, e.g. "S-1-5-18", the most appropriate representation of a Windows user that we can have?

no, this is a so called "well known sid" - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379649.aspx

the generic format is documented for example at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Identifier#Overview

The format of an SID can be illustrated using the following example: "S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013";
S 	The string is a SID. 	
1 	The revision level (the version of the SID specification). 	
5 	The identifier authority value. 	
21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820 	Domain or local computer identifier 	
1013 	A Relative ID (RID).  (identifies user) 

I would change the doc to the following 

+                <entry>WindowsSID</entry>
+                <entry>STRING</entry>
+                <entry>The Windows security identifier in its string form,

Got a running version with this patches on windows (cross compiled on linux with mingw)
Running dbus-daemon and dbusviewer with wine and called GetConnectionCredentials "WindowsSID". 

qdbusviewer returned nothing and dbus-daemon reported  

11: [bus/driver.c(2079):bus_driver_handle_message] Driver got a method call: GetConnectionCredentials
11: [bus/driver.c(2102):bus_driver_handle_message] Found driver handler for GetConnectionCredentials

11: [dbus/dbus-connection.c(2934):dbus_connection_get_is_connected] LOCK
11: [dbus/dbus-connection.c(413):_dbus_connection_unlock] UNLOCK

I changed the related patch in bus/driver.c to 

//#ifdef DBUS_WIN
    {
      char *windows_sid = NULL;
      _dbus_getsid (&windows_sid);
      _dbus_verbose ("get windows sid %s\n", windows_sid);
      if (windows_sid != NULL)
        {
          if (!_dbus_asv_add_string (&array_iter, "WindowsSID", windows_sid))
            {
              LocalFree (windows_sid);
              goto oom;
            }
           LocalFree (windows_sid);
        }
    }
//#endif

to see if this is called anyway but did not found the term "get windows sid" in the dbus-daemon log file created with DBUS_VERBOSE=1

I'd prefer it if you could do a patch that adds the Windows parts, and omits the unfinished Solaris/SELinux bits. People who like Solaris or SELinux can get a prototype from my earlier patch and make it work.

In principle this shouldn't need to be #ifdef DBUS_WIN, because the "get the Windows SID of the thing at the other end" function should just return NULL on non-Windows.

This should get the SID of the process at the other end of the connection, not the SID of the bus daemon. If that's not something you can do on Windows then we should just leave it out, and you don't need to do anything.

The idea was that this should call _dbus_getsid() to see what the SID of this process is, and compare it with what the dbus-daemon says our SID is.

Right, what I meant is: is "S-1-5-18" or "S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013" a more appropriate format to represent a Windows user than "LOCAL_SYSTEM" or "Ralf"? And it sounds as though the answer is "yes".

(The corresponding thing on Unix is that we use a numeric uid like 0 or 1000 rather than the string name like root or smcv, because it's the number that's actually used when making authentication decisions.)

That should fail with NameHasNoOwner.

The right thing would be something like GetConnectionCredentials ":1.42" or GetConnectionCredentials "com.example.MyService". It should return a map from string to variant. With my three patches, that map will be empty on Windows; with your patch in addition, it should contain { "WindowsSID": "S-blahblahblah" }.

yes, names in the mentioned form are not unique.

Okay, I was misleaded by trying to call the function with org.freedesktop.DBus which returns 

13: [bus/connection.c(2269):bus_transaction_send_error_reply] Sending error reply org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner "Could not get credentials of name 'org.freedesktop.DBus': no such name"

Thanks, this looks better. It still needs a paragraph in the spec explaining what WindowsSID means - the one in your previous patch looked OK.

Is the SID guaranteed to be UTF-8? From the documentation on MSDN it looks as though it's always ASCII, which is a subset of UTF-8, so that's fine.

(If it's possible to get, say, Latin-1 characters in the SID, we'd have to send it as a byte array instead of a UTF-8 string.)

You've removed asv_add_uint32. Looks like you forgot to add the "_dbus_" prefix to this line and the next two.

I don't know any system using PIDs and UIDs larger than 32-bit. We could go for 64-bit just in case, if it's no harm (and I don't think it is).

Then again, we could also define that it could be either type and the caller should check.

PS: pid_t is technically signed because it's used in some functions like kill(2) and wait(2) where negative numbers have special meaning, usually process groups. But PIDs are always positive.

You don't need to export all these functions. Some of them are internal and should be static.

> does this covers the process id from a dbus connection on windows too

Not as far as I know. It's a Unix pid_t as returned by getpid() (a temporarily-unique non-negative integer per process). GetCurrentProcessId() on Windows seems to be analogous.

The thing that makes it useful on Unix, but probably not on Windows, is that by doing credentials-passing across a Unix socket, the dbus-daemon can find out who is at the other end of the connection (user ID, one group ID, and process ID) in a secure way - it isn't possible to fake your process ID in this message unless you are privileged (root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

That isn't possible over TCP, so I don't think the process ID would ever be available on Windows anyway? (If it is, we can always add a WindowsProcessID later.)

This credentials stuff is mostly of interest for consumption by security software like PolicyKit, on buses like the standard system bus that act as a security boundary - so to be honest it's not particularly relevant on Windows, where D-Bus isn't a standard OS component and there's no system bus.

I don't see the problem of just doing it now. Whether the D-Bus server can get the remote connection's PID or not is completely irrelevant. If it manages to get it, it's a 32-bit unsigned integer anyway.

I believe this addresses all of Thiago's comments. _dbus_asv_open_entry, _dbus_asv_close_entry and _dbus_asv_abandon_entry are now static (but are still named the same, to reduce churn if/when we add credentials that have a more complex type).

ProcessID is still 32-bit unsigned, but now has non-Unix-specific naming in case it ever becomes implementable on Windows.

Ralf, could you confirm this please?

If you're not sure, I suppose we could always throw in a call to dbus_validate_utf8(), and just not include the SID in the reply (meaning "I don't know, if in doubt don't trust this process") if it turns out to be non-UTF-8, the same way I didn't include the Unix uid/pid if they're beyond 32-bit.

That'd probably be a good idea for other frameworks' identifiers too, actually.

Where did this pid come from?!

_dbus_read_credentials_socket() appears to be mis-implemented: it claims that every peer - even if it authenticated using the ANONYMOUS mechanism - has the pid and SID of the *current* process (the dbus-daemon, in this case).

This is wrong. I'll clone a bug.

I assume the idea here is that this dbus-monitor...

... is the owner of :1.24.

GetConnectionCredentials is claiming that this is the pid of dbus-monitor. I don't think it actually is: I think it's the pid of dbus-daemon.

This is your SID (user ID), which is presumably true for both the dbus-daemon and the dbus-monitor, unless someone else has joined your session bus.

Right. My complaint wasn't that this is a Wine-emulated Windows pid rather than a Linux pid - that's fine, and expected - but that providing the dbus-daemon pid here is not useful information, and not what GetConnectionCredentials is documented to do: GetConnectionCredentials(X) should return the credentials of the connected process X, not those of the dbus-daemon itself.

If that means that it can't return ProcessID on Windows, then it shouldn't return ProcessID on Windows - giving information that can't be trusted to be correct is worse than giving no information.

This wrong process ID is Bug #61787, which (IMO) shouldn't block this one: I believe GetConnectionUnixProcessID is equally wrong on Windows, for the same reason. If you can't tell the peer's process ID, which I don't think you can, then GCUPI should just raise an error.

Now that I look at this again: this is not actually correct. According to dbus-marshal-validate.h, _dbus_check_foo() is only meant to be used in _dbus_return_[val_]if_fail(), and in an attempt to enforce that, it isn't defined if checks are disabled.

(Virtually nobody actually sees that failure mode, because compiling libdbus without checks doesn't usually make sense.)

You could use dbus_validate_utf8 (windows_sid, NULL) from dbus-syntax.h, now that I've added it.

You can either use dbus_validate_utf8() (which takes a const char *), or _dbus_string_init_const() and _dbus_string_validate_utf8() (which takes a DBusString). _dbus_validate_utf8() is an alias for _dbus_string_validate_utf8(), but dbus_validate_utf8() (without the underscore) is a wrapper with a different signature.

I believe the justification for _dbus_check_is_valid_utf8() being unavailable when compiling without checks was that when parsing a binary D-Bus message, _dbus_string_validate_utf8() is the right thing, and _dbus_check_is_valid_utf8() would be wrong (because binary D-Bus messages aren't '\0'-terminated and it is necessary to check for out-of-bounds reading).

However, I added dbus_validate_utf8() (and similar functions) because it seemed stupid for bindings like dbus-python to have to reimplement them.

If you want to turn _dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (x) into a macro wrapper around dbus_validate_utf8 (x, NULL), and so on, I wouldn't object.

You don't actually need this _dbus_string_free() call, but it's OK either way.

The bug here is that I should have been adding a string, not a uint32.

Adding the char * (pointer to the first byte in the string) to the packet as an integer makes no sense.

As a general note, this is not true in general: in particular, it's false on 64-bit Windows and on Linux "x32", which are LLP64 platforms.

(I don't personally think the performance gains for x32 are worth the latent bugs they will uncover, but some people want to use it anyway.)

I think you accidentally included this in commit 600621dbc80. I reverted that commit, though, because the manual test indicated that it was incorrectly allowing ANONYMOUS too often.

I'd prefer to have the test enabled before merging this, if possible.

Please do - I don't have a development environment on Windows, so I can't really test it properly. The other thing that this test ought to check is that the SID we report is correct (basically, copy the logic for UnixUserID).

Happened while manual rebasing/patching the patches from #39720, seems to be caused by an unclear git environment in which an applied patch from this bug stays around - sorry for that.

The problem here is, that dbus-glib, which is required, isn't available as a package on windows native nor as mingw32 cross compiled package yet.

You are refering to  the compare to _DBUS_UINT32_MAX in 
+  if (dbus_connection_get_unix_user (conn, &ulong_val) &&
+      ulong_val <= _DBUS_UINT32_MAX)


the validation of the sid already happens in _dbus_getsid() from which all connection related sid's are fetch

It's reasonably easy to cross-compile, assuming you have a cross-compiled GLib to compile it against - that's what I do to smoke-test dbus/mingw.

No, I'm referring to the actual regression test in test/dbus-daemon.c:

      if (g_strcmp0 (name, "UnixUserID") == 0)
        {
#ifdef G_OS_UNIX
          guint32 u32;

          g_assert (!(seen & SEEN_UNIX_USER));
          g_assert_cmpuint (dbus_message_iter_get_arg_type (&var_iter), ==,
              DBUS_TYPE_UINT32);
          dbus_message_iter_get_basic (&var_iter, &u32);
          g_message ("%s of this process is %u", name, u32);
          g_assert_cmpuint (u32, ==, geteuid ());
          seen |= SEEN_UNIX_USER;
#else
          g_assert_not_reached ();
#endif
        }

There should be a similar block for WindowsSID which on Windows, checks that the WindowsSID is a string, gets the SID of the current process via Win32 API for comparison, checks that they are equal, and records SEEN_WINDOWS_SID; and on Unix, crashes with g_assert_not_reached().

got it It has not been named dbus-glib instead it is named mingw32-dbus-1-glib

BTW: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings/ states that dbus-glib is obsolate and gdbus should used. Does this apply to dbus too ?

I'd prefer this:

or if stdout isn't necessarily fd 1 in Windows, drop the "=1" everywhere to minimize the difference (bare --print-address is equivalent to --print-address=1 under Unix, so that's OK - I only included the "=1" to be more explicit).

     g_assert_cmpstr (self_sid, ==, sid);

since that prints better diagnostics if they differ, or if one of them is NULL. (g_error() is always fatal, and g_assert_cmpstr() is a macro wrapper around g_strcmp0().)

I remember that with =1 the daemon could not be started, need to recheck.

Bug #68852 might make this unnecessary. I hope so.

> if a module is using "_dbus*" symbols, it needs the internal

Bug #68852 should make it easier for the dbus-daemon test to be compiled against (dbus-glib and) libdbus-1.la on Unix, but libdbus-internal.la (so it can see _dbus_getsid()) on Windows.

I'd like to confirm that that test passes on Windows *without* the Bug #54445 stuff before I do that, though :-)
Comment 94 Simon McVittie 2013-09-03 11:09:21 UTC
With the patches from Bug #68852 merged, it should be possible to do something like this (untested):

if DBUS_WIN
test_dbus_daemon_CPPFLAGS = $(static_cppflags)
test_dbus_daemon_LDADD = libdbus-testutils-internal.la
else !DBUS_WIN
test_dbus_daemon_CPPFLAGS =
test_dbus_daemon_LDADD = \
    $(testutils_shared_if_possible) \
    $(GLIB_LIBS) \
    $(NULL)
endif !DBUS_WIN

to give test-dbus-daemon access to _dbus_getsid() on Windows, but link it dynamically (when possible) on Unix.
Comment 95 Simon McVittie 2013-09-27 11:27:28 UTC
For those who like Smack, SELinux or other environments with more credentials than just the POSIX ones: the OS-independent and POSIX parts of this are in git master, so now is the time to implement credentials-getting mechanisms for your favourite LSM or other credentials framework (please track as a separate bug, and use Attachment #75654 [details] as inspiration).

What's left on this bug is getting feature parity with the old credentials mechanisms on Windows, which is blocked by getting the regression test to work; that doesn't block Smack, SELinux, Solaris ADT etc.
Comment 96 Simon McVittie 2014-02-13 11:20:42 UTC
This is not Linux-specific, and is a feature enhancement, not a security vulnerability; removing security tag again.

If GetConnectionCredentials() can return incorrect information, *that* would be a security vulnerability. (If so, please email me privately.)

Note that this WIP code has run-time errors. It attempts to append multiple bytes direcly to a variant container. What needs to happen is for the variant container to be opened, then an array container to be opened, and then the byte array to be appended. The middle step is missing from the WIP.

I've attached a patch to Bug #75113 that creates a new a{sv} helper called _dbus_asv_add_byte_array(). It may be of interest to anyone wanting to finish out this WIP code.

At the moment you can't call _dbus_getsid() unless the executable is statically linked to libdbus-internal, so if you want to do this, you will have to do something like:

if DBUS_WIN
# statically linked so we can call _dbus_getsid()
test_dbus_daemon_CPPFLAGS = $(static_cppflags)
test_dbus_daemon_LDADD = \
    libdbus-testutils-internal.la \
    $(GLIB_LIBS) \
    $(NULL)
else
test_dbus_daemon_CPPFLAGS = $(testutils_shared_if_possible_cppflags)
test_dbus_daemon_LDADD = \
    $(testutils_shared_if_possible_libs) \
    $(GLIB_LIBS) \
    $(NULL)
endif

(and maybe the CMake equivalent) - I would really prefer to keep as many tests as possible dynamically linked on Unix, because it makes them much more useful as integration tests.

Alternatively, if someone reviews Bug #83115 one day, then we can access _dbus functions even in dynamically-linked tests.

The other possibility is to put the comparison with _dbus_getsid in #ifdef DBUS_STATIC_BUILD.

No need for 'result', just use

g_assert_cmpstr (self_sid, ==, sid);

which does the same strcmp internally, but also gives a better assertion-failure message if it fails.

I think you're leaking self_sid here? Please dbus_free() it.

This seems like too many ?: operators :-)

I think it'd be a lot clearer like this:

HANDLE process_handle;

if (process_id == 0)
  process_handle = GetCurrentProcess ();
else if (is_winxp_sp3_or_lower ())
  process_handle = OpenProcess (PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, process_id);
else
  process_handle = OpenProcess (PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION, FALSE, process_id);

Clarification: on Unix with Autotools. I don't mind if some or all of the tests are consistently statically-linked under CMake if that makes your life easier.

Given that this touches the entire build system and has 4 months' worth of merge conflicts, I would recommend doing one of the others for now, and we can clean it up if Bug #83115 is ever merged.

I should have known this would happen when I worked on Bug #83115 :-(

We are using it currently only in a bus not installed test application, so no problem here.

sure, but need to use LocalFree().

test-dbus-daemon (dbus-daemon.c) is built dynamically-linked under Autotools, and optionally installed as an integration test on Unix.

Actually, it's statically linked to libdbus-internal if you don't have dbus-glib, which people compiling for Windows probably don't... so your patch is theoretically not right in all situations, but it's good enough in practice.

Fixed in git for 1.9.12, thanks! (I pushed it myself rather than waiting for you, because I wanted to avoid conflicts when I work on Bug #89041, which will also touch test-dbus-daemon.)

bus_driver_handle_get_connection_credentials: do not  assert on OOM

dbus_connection_get_windows_user is documented to return TRUE but
put NULL in its argument if OOM is reached.

Happened to spot this while adapting this code for the Linux security label (also a string) on Bug #89041. Yes, it's a weird calling convention, but it's what the docs say.
