The base release of gamin uses the current real uid to determine the location of the socket and during the security routines. It also forks off a copy of "gam_server" as the current real uid as well. This breaks gamin functionality with any application that uses effective an uid/gid for privilege separation, such as samba. Samba runs as root, but always sets the effective uid/gid to that of the connecting user. Since gamin is only aware of the real uid, it always creates a root-owned gamin socket that the effective user can't touch (gamin's own security checks refuse it). For a description of the problem with samba, see: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9558 A similar bug has already been filed against gamin, but has gone unanswered by gamin's maintainer for years: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345244 This patch adds a "RUN_AS_EUID" definition which will enable the following behavior at compile time: * use the effective uid to determine the name of user socket to create * use the effective uid when verifying ownership for security * runs setuid/setgid to change to the effective uid/gid after forking but before starting a copy of gam_server when run via libgamin * refuses to escalate privileges to root during setuid/setgid, only dropping privileges (though it would be easy to change that if someone needed it, but I'm erring on the side of caution here since setuid is involved) I'm not sure which effect this will have on other applications that use gamin, so I leave it up to you to determine the right behavior for the Makefile. Right now it is provided as a "Drop privileges to effective user" but it may make sense to have it always on by default for security reasons. It works great on my system so far, though. This is the first time I have seen samba's file alteration monitoring work on freebsd. (NOTE: My patch to gam_api.c includes the existing patches, I wasn't sure whether to give you something you can just slap in place that would match svn or provide a patch-of-a-patch) Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->gnome Over to maintainer (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool)
Apologies, I forgot to include one of the files in the patch (and instead included one of them twice). Here is an updated patch.
Alright, this should hopefully be the last change. * fixed typo in setgid debug message * reworked "gamin_drop_privileges" method to accept a uid and gid value instead of assuming you always want the effective user, so that it can be used in other parts of the code if needed * changed call to "gamin_drop_privileges" to pass the effective uid/gid after fork
Has anyone had a chance to look in to this? Thanks!
Author: kwm Date: Fri Mar 22 16:30:36 2013 New Revision: 314945 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/314945 Log: Add patches to gamin to enable support for effective uid/gid, add a option for this and turn it on by default. Current gamin uses the current real uid to determine the location of the socket and during the security routines. It also forks off a copy of "gam_server" as the current real uid as well. This breaks gamin functionality with any application that uses effective an uid/gid for privilege separation, such as samba. Samba runs as root, but always sets the effective uid/gid to that of the connecting user. Since gamin is only aware of the real uid, it always creates a root-owned gamin socket that the effective user can't touch (gamin's own security checks refuse it).
