The new methods work as the unflavoured ones, but takes flags as a
single uint64_t DBUS parameters instead of different booleans, so
that it can be extended without breaking backward compatibility.
Add new flag to allow adding/removing symlinks in
[/etc|/run]/systemd/system.attached so that portable services
configuration files can be self-contained in those directories, without
affecting the system services directories.
Use the new methods and flags from portablectl --enable.
Useful in case /etc is read-only, with only the portable services
directories being mounted read-write.
socket_instantiate_service() was doing unit_ref_set(), and the caller was
immediately doing unit_ref_unset(). After we get rid of this, it doesn't seem
worth it to have two functions.
This means that the connection was aborted before we even got to figure out
what the service name will be. Let's treat this as a non-event and close the
connection fd without any further messages.
Code last changed in 934ef6a5.
Reported-by: Thiago Macieira <thiago.macieira@intel.com>
With the patch:
systemd[1]: foobar.socket: Incoming traffic
systemd[1]: foobar.socket: Got ENOTCONN on incoming socket, assuming aborted connection attempt, ignoring.
...
Also, when we get ENOMEM, don't give the hint about missing unit.
Let's ensure that a device once tagged can become active/inactive simply
by toggling the current tag.
Note that this means that a device once tagged with "systemd" will
always have a matching .device unit. However, the active/inactive state
of the unit reflects whether it is currently tagged that way (and
doesn't have SYSTEMD_READY=0 set).
Fixes: #7587
Desired functionality:
Set securebits for services started as non-root user.
Failure:
The starting of the service fails if no ambient capability shall be
raised.
... systemd[217941]: ...: Failed to set process secure bits: Operation
not permitted
... systemd[217941]: ...: Failed at step SECUREBITS spawning
/usr/bin/abc.service: Operation not permitted
... systemd[1]: abc.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Reason:
For setting securebits the capability CAP_SETPCAP is required. However
the securebits (if no ambient capability shall be raised) are set after
setresuid.
When setresuid is invoked all capabilities are dropped from the
permitted, effective and ambient capability set. If the securebit
SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS is set the permitted capability set is retained, but
the effective and the ambient set are cleared.
If ambient capabilities shall be set, the securebit SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS is
added to the securebits configured in the service file and set together
with the securebits from the service file before setresuid is executed
(in enforce_user).
Before setresuid is executed the capabilities are the same as for pid1.
This means that all capabilities in the effective, permitted and
bounding set are set. Thus the capability CAP_SETPCAP is in the
effective set and the prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, ...) succeeds.
However, if the secure bits aren't set before setresuid is invoked they
shall be set shortly after the uid change in enforce_user.
This fails as SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS wasn't set before setresuid and in
consequence the effective and permitted set was cleared, hence
CAP_SETPCAP is not set in the effective set (and cannot be raised any
longer) and prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, ...) failes with EPERM.
Proposed solution:
The proposed solution consists of three parts
1. Check in enforce_user, if securebits are configured in the service
file. If securebits are configured, set SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS
before invoking setresuid.
2. Don't set any other securebits than SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS in enforce_user,
but set all requested ones after enforce_user.
This has the advantage that securebits are set at the same place for
root and non-root services.
3. Raise CAP_SETPCAP to the effective set (if not already set) before
setting the securebits to avoid EPERM during the prctl syscall.
For gaining CAP_SETPCAP the function capability_bounding_set_drop is
splitted into two functions:
- The first one raises CAP_SETPCAP (required for dropping bounding
capabilities)
- The second drops the bounding capabilities
Why are ambient capabilities not affected by this change?
Ambient capabilities get cleared during setresuid, no matter if
SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS is set or not.
For raising ambient capabilities for a user different to root, the
requested capability has to be raised in the inheritable set first. Then
the SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS securebit needs to be set before setresuid is
invoked. Afterwards the ambient capability can be raised, because it is
in the inheritable and permitted set.
Security considerations:
Although the manpage is ambiguous SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS is cleared during
execve no matter if SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS_LOCKED is set or not. If both are
set only SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS_LOCKED is set after execve.
Setting SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS in enforce_user for being able to set
securebits is no security risk, as the effective and permitted set are
set to the value of the ambient set during execve (if the executed file
has no file capabilities. For details check man 7 capabilities).
Remark:
In capability-util.c is a comment complaining about the missing
capability CAP_SETPCAP in the effective set, after the kernel executed
/sbin/init. Thus it is checked there if this capability has to be raised
in the effective set before dropping capabilities from the bounding set.
If this were true all the time, ambient capabilities couldn't be set
without dropping at least one capability from the bounding set, as the
capability CAP_SETPCAP would miss and setting SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS would
fail with EPERM.
Instead of assuming that more-recently modified directories have higher mtime,
just look for any mtime changes, up or down. Since we don't want to remember
individual mtimes, hash them to obtain a single value.
This should help us behave properly in the case when the time jumps backwards
during boot: various files might have mtimes that in the future, but we won't
care. This fixes the following scenario:
We have /etc/systemd/system with T1. T1 is initially far in the past.
We have /run/systemd/generator with time T2.
The time is adjusted backwards, so T2 will be always in the future for a while.
Now the user writes new files to /etc/systemd/system, and T1 is updated to T1'.
Nevertheless, T1 < T1' << T2.
We would consider our cache to be up-to-date, falsely.
This check was added in d904afc730. It would only
apply in the case where the cache hasn't been loaded yet. I think we pretty
much always have the cache loaded when we reach this point, but even if we
didn't, it seems better to try to reload the unit. So let's drop this check.
We really only care if the cache has been reloaded between the time when we
last attempted to load this unit and now. So instead of recording the actual
time we try to load the unit, just store the timestamp of the cache. This has
the advantage that we'll notice if the cache mtime jumps forward or backward.
Also rename fragment_loadtime to fragment_not_found_time. It only gets set when
we failed to load the unit and the old name was suggesting it is always set.
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1871327
(and most likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1867930
and most likely https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1872068) we try
to load a non-existent unit over and over from transaction_add_job_and_dependencies().
My understanding is that the clock was in the future during inital boot,
so cache_mtime is always in the future (since we don't touch the fs after initial boot),
so no matter how many times we try to load the unit and set
fragment_loadtime / fragment_not_found_time, it is always higher than cache_mtime,
so manager_unit_cache_should_retry_load() always returns true.
The name is misleading, since we aren't really loading the unit from cache — if
this function returns true, we'll try to load the unit from disk, updating the
cache in the process.
Any uevent other then the initial and the last uevent we see for a
device (which is "add" and "remove") should result in a reload being
triggered, including "bind" and "unbind". Hence, let's fix up the check.
("move" is kinda a combined "remove" + "add", hence cover that too)
The parent process may not perform any label operation, so the
database might not get updated on a SELinux policy change on its own.
Reload the label database once on a policy change, instead of n times
in every started child.
I find this version much more readable.
Add replacement defines so that when acl/libacl.h is not available, the
ACL_{READ,WRITE,EXECUTE} constants are also defined. Those constants were
declared in the kernel headers already in 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1f,
so they should be the same pretty much everywhere.
Ideally we would like to hide all other service's credentials for all
services. That would imply for us to enable mount namespacing for all
services, which is something we cannot do, both due to compatibility
with the status quo ante, and because a number of services legitimately
should be able to install mounts in the host hierarchy.
Hence we do the second best thing, we hide the credentials automatically
for all services that opt into mount namespacing otherwise. This is
quite different from other mount sandboxing options: usually you have to
explicitly opt into each. However, given that the credentials logic is a
brand new concept we invented right here and now, and particularly
security sensitive it's OK to reverse this, and by default hide
credentials whenever we can (i.e. whenever mount namespacing is
otherwise opt-ed in to).
Long story short: if you want to hide other service's credentials, the
most basic options is to just turn on PrivateMounts= and there you go,
they should all be gone.
Kernel 5.8 gained a hidepid= implementation that is truly per procfs,
which allows us to mount a distinct once into every unit, with
individual hidepid= settings. Let's expose this via two new settings:
ProtectProc= (wrapping hidpid=) and ProcSubset= (wrapping subset=).
Replaces: #11670
it's not entirely clear what shall be passed via parameter and what via
struct, but these two definitely fit well with the other protect_xyz
fields, hence let's move them over.
We probably should move a lot more more fields into the structure
actuall (most? all even?).
Similarly to "setup" vs. "set up", "fallback" is a noun, and "fall back"
is the verb. (This is pretty clear when we construct a sentence in the
present continous: "we are falling back" not "we are fallbacking").
Follow the same model established for RootImage and RootImageOptions,
and allow to either append a single list of options or tuples of
partition_number:options.
The concept is flawed, and mostly useless. Let's finally remove it.
It has been deprecated since 90a2ec10f2 (6
years ago) and we started to warn since
55dadc5c57 (1.5 years ago).
Let's get rid of it altogether.
Previously, we'd create them from user-runtime-dir@.service. That has
one benefit: since this service runs privileged, we can create the full
set of device nodes. It has one major drawback though: it security-wise
problematic to create files/directories in directories as privileged
user in directories owned by unprivileged users, since they can use
symlinks to redirect what we want to do. As a general rule we hence
avoid this logic: only unpriv code should populate unpriv directories.
Hence, let's move this code to an appropriate place in the service
manager. This means we lose the inaccessible block device node, but
since there's already a fallback in place, this shouldn't be too bad.
