I've marked the case closed approved automatic, as the interfaces being modified are private, and the changes are minor and fairly obvious. 1 Introduction ============== This case proposes two changes related to the dlmgmtd daemon: 1) Change the dlmgmtd daemon to be run by the "dladm" user. 2) Create a /etc/svc/volatile/dladm directory and change the dlmgmtd door file location from /etc/.dlmgmt_door to /etc/svc/volatile/dladm/dlmgmt_door. Remove the /etc/.dlmgmt_door file from the SUNWcsr package. 2. Details ========== - Privileges for dlmgmtd As part of PSARC/2008/002, we already limit privileges of the dlmgmtd daemon to be only "file_dac_write, file_chown_self, sys_mount, and sys_net_config", but since dlmgmtd is still run by uid 0, it is still vulnerable as it still has unnecessary privileges (e.g., read access to all root owned files). We propose to change the dlmgmtd daemon to be run by the "dladm" user. Note that the "dladm" user already exists and owns the files under /etc/dladm. The dlmgmtd daemon needs to access the files under /etc/dladm, so it is natural to run dlmgmtd by "dladm". A /etc/svc/volatile/dladm directory will be created and will be owned by "dladm". This directory will be used to hold the temporary datalink configuration files and the dlmgmtd door file (discussed below). Note that although the /var/run directory seems a better place to hold door files, it is mounted much later in boot by the filesystem/minimal service, therefore cannot be used in this case. - Door file for dlmgmtd As part of PSARC/2006/299, we proposed the dlmgmtd daemon to communicate with datalink management interfaces consumers using a door located in /etc (/etc/.dlmgmt_door). Because the dlmgmtd daemon is started very early in boot, we chose to make the /etc/.dlmgmt_door file part of the SUNWcsr package, to avoid having to create the door file before the root FS becomes writable. Several issues were found related to the above implementation though: 1) Missing /etc/.dlmgmt_door file after flashinstall In the case of flashinstall, the flarcreate's "fdo" command excludes all the door files because "archiver (cpio/pax) unable to archive DOOR and SOCKET files, and it gives error". As a result, the /etc/.dlmgmt_door file is excluded by flarcreate and hence will not exist on the system after flashinstall. This causes the failure of the network/datalink-management service (which starts dlmgmtd) and an unusable system. 2) After system is booted, "pkgchk -n SUNWcsr" reports error Because a file is never packaged as a door, the /etc/.dlmgmt_door file is packaged as part of SUNWcsr (file type 'f'), and only becomes a door by dlmgmtd calls fattach() on it at runtime. But this causes pkgchk to report an error: # pkgchk -n SUNWcsr ERROR: /etc/.dlmgmt_door file type expected actual To resolve the above two issues, we propose to change the dlmgmtd door file location from /etc/.dlmgmt_door to /etc/svc/volatile/dladm/dlmgmt_door. Because /etc/svc/volatile is mounted as tmpfs, there is no problem with having dlmgmtd create the door file early in boot, and the /etc/.dlmgmt_door file is no longer needed.

If, for some reason, a Minor release were to be cut today without this case being included in it, then implementing this case in a patch of that release (patching the bits delivered in 2006/499 which this case modifies) would be acceptable. The interfaces being modified are Project Private and the modifications are compatible in nature.

Doing this means that dlmgmtd will need to start up with all privileges so that it can write to /etc/svc/volatile to create the dladm subdir, it can then drop the privileges what it doesn't need. However this complicates the cleanup of the door file on exit. [I've been through this with kcfd because it has a similar issue]. Unless there is a real need for this to be on tmpfs I would recommend putting the door file in /etc/dladm/ since that is already owned and writtable by the dladm user. This should mean that dlmgmtd could be started by SMF as the dladm user with only the privs it needs. Note that I'm not suggesting the door file be packaged - it shouldn't be it is a Project Private communication channel. As a side note I've looked at the current privilege code for dlmgtd and it needs a little work as it isn't safe for extensions to the basic set - contact me or Casper offline for what needs to be done here. -- Darren J Moffat From Cathy.Zhou@sun.com Wed Feb 27 03:29:46 2008 Received: from sunmail5.uk.sun.com (sunmail5.UK.Sun.COM [129.156.85.165]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m1RBTjZZ008098 for ; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:29:46 -0800 (PST) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail5.uk.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m1RBTgLo018264 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:psarc-ext@sun.com>; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:29:44 GMT Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JWW00H13ALHXL00@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:29:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from sineb-mail-2.sun.com ([192.18.19.7]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JWW0008OALF2X80@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:29:40 -0800 (PST) Received: from fe-apac-06.sun.com (fe-apac-06.sun.com [192.18.19.177] (may be forged)) by sineb-mail-2.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m1RBTrTM007251 for ; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:29:53 +0000 (GMT) Received: from conversion-daemon.mail-apac.sun.com by mail-apac.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) id <0JWW00K01AL0AI00@mail-apac.sun.com> (original mail from Cathy.Zhou@Sun.COM) for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:29:39 +0800 (SGT) Received: from [129.158.219.34] by mail-apac.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-6.01 (built Apr 3 2006)) with ESMTPSA id <0JWW00BTKALAMNN5@mail-apac.sun.com> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:29:38 +0800 (SGT) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:29:34 +0800 From: Cathy Zhou Subject: Re: 2008/152 dlmgmtd uid and door file location In-reply-to: <47C53E67.2040008@Sun.COM> Sender: Cathy.Zhou@sun.com To: Darren J Moffat Cc: Sebastien Roy , psarc-ext@sun.com Message-id: <47C5499E.608@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.2.0.264296 References: <47C459C7.6000606@sun.com> <47C53E67.2040008@Sun.COM> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 (X11/20060427) Status: RO Content-Length: 2306 Darren J Moffat wrote: > Sebastien Roy wrote: >> I'm sponsoring this case for Cathy Zhou.

You end up packaging an empty type f file; the namefs door mount happens on top of that... so Darren is right, the _door_ isn't package; the file that is packaged is what is the door mounts on top of w/ fattach. According to the fattach man page (and common sense), the file will need to be writable by the dlmgmtd process: int fattach(int fildes, const char *path); DESCRIPTION The fattach() function attaches a STREAMS- or doors-based file descriptor to an object in the file system name space, effectively associating a name with fildes. The fildes argu- ment must be a valid open file descriptor representing a STREAMS or doors file. The path argument is a path name of an existing object and the user must have appropriate privileges or be the owner of the file and have write per- missions. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts@cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."

I guess that in hindsight /var/run was not such a cool location after all; /var/run needs to be created *after* /var is mounted and that might be fairly late.

I actually agree with NOT packaging the file that is fattached() to, nscd, kcfd, syseventd, syslogd, picld, don't do that so I don't think dlmgmtd should either. My suggestion of using /etc/dladm/ was to avoid the need to start as root merely to create /var/run/dladm as a dir owned by the dladm user. Cathy has pointed out though that dlmgmtd needs to start as root for other reasons though. Given that I think /var/run is a better place than /etc/dladm/ and since it is in /var/run it shouldn't (nay can't) be packaged. -- Darren J Moffat From meem@triplex.east.sun.com Wed Feb 27 11:13:14 2008 Received: from sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com (sunmail2sca [129.145.155.234]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m1RJDERG027602 for ; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:13:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (brm-avmta-1.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.4.11]) by sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m1RJD6OV014620; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:13:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JWW00A0PW1XV500@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com>; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:13:09 -0700 (MST) Received: from triplex.East.Sun.COM ([129.148.174.104]) by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JWW00MGCW1WQDD0@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com>; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:13:08 -0700 (MST) Received: from triplex.East.Sun.COM (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by triplex.East.Sun.COM (8.14.2+Sun/8.14.2) with ESMTP id m1RJD8O3017289; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:13:08 -0500 (EST) Received: (from meem@localhost) by triplex.East.Sun.COM (8.14.2+Sun/8.14.2/Submit) id m1RJD8a5017286; Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:13:08 -0500 (EST) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:13:08 -0500 From: Peter Memishian Subject: Re: [clearview-discuss] 2008/152 dlmgmtd uid and door file location In-reply-to: <47C5B5AF.30504@Sun.COM> To: Darren J Moffat Cc: Peter Memishian , Bart Smaalders , Cathy Zhou , psarc-ext@sun.com, Sebastien Roy Message-id: <18373.46660.74697.949883@gargle.gargle.HOWL> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: VM 7.19 under 21.4 (patch 21) "Educational Television" XEmacs Lucid Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.2.0.264296 References: <47C459C7.6000606@sun.com> <47C53E67.2040008@Sun.COM> <47C5499E.608@sun.com> <47C59FD1.3050001@Sun.COM> <18373.42383.582478.330230@gargle.gargle.HOWL> <47C5B5AF.30504@Sun.COM> Status: RO Content-Length: 498 > My suggestion of using /etc/dladm/ was to avoid the need to start as > root merely to create /var/run/dladm as a dir owned by the dladm user. > Cathy has pointed out though that dlmgmtd needs to start as root for > other reasons though.
