| * Loosen checking for readable files within target directories.Nick Mathewson2022-05-092-14/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the target directory itself is unreadable by untrusted users, then its contents can't be read[*] by them regardless of their permissions. If the target directory _is_ readable, then _it_ will be rejected if we are forbidding readable objects. (And if we aren't we don't care if the contents are readable.) A similar argument would apply to writable objects within an unreadable target directory. We're not making that argument, since such contents are likelier to be a mistake. [*] Unless they're hard-linked; see comments in "Limitations" section.
| * fs-mistrust: add various methods.Nick Mathewson2022-05-092-7/+174
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This includes: * a CachedDir::join method. * functions to read and write from provided filenames in a CachedDir. * a method to tell whether a fs-mistrust error is about bad file permissions, or failure to inspect file permissions or some other kind of IO problem.
| * Derive Clone and Debug for CheckedDir.Nick Mathewson2022-05-051-0/+1

* fs-mistrust: write a lot about TOCTOU issues.Nick Mathewson2022-05-034-22/+70

* fs-mistrust: Rename SecureDir to CheckedDir.Nick Mathewson2022-05-033-24/+24
|
* fs-mistrust: Add a dangerously_trust_everyone method.Nick Mathewson2022-05-032-1/+59
| | | | | | | This helps make it possible to use `SecureDir` (name pending) even when we want to disable permissions checks. Otherwise, optional permission checking would require users of this crate to maintain separate code paths for the "check" and "don't check" cases.
* fs-mistrust: split check_one into two functions.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-46/+64
| | | | This will make a "trust_everyone" easier to implement.
* fs-mistrust: Make self-named groups trusted by default.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-23/+32
|
* Work around CI config weirdness.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-0/+5
| | | | | Some of our builders put root into gid 0, but getgroups() doesn't actually give any result.
* fs-mistrust: Add code to make a self-named group "trusted".Nick Mathewson2022-05-032-0/+223
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This required a bit of poking through the `users` crate, to mess with the user and group dbs. The original goal was to "trust the group with the same name as us", but it turned into a bit of a production, since: * We want to take our own name from $USER, assuming that matches our uid. (Otherwise we want to ask getpwuid_r().) * We only want to trust the group if we are actually a member of that group. * We want to cache this information. * We want to test this code.
* fs-mistrust: refactor ResolvePath to avoid temporary changes.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-36/+31
| | | | | | | | Previously we would temporarily put self.resolved into an invalid state by adding a path component that might be a symlink. With this change, we create a new temporary path object (using Cow to avoid unnecessary allocations) and only conditionally replace self.resolved.
* fs-mistrust: clarify and test behavior for ".." past the fs root.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-1/+31

* Add a must_use (suggested by @diziet).Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-0/+1

* fs-mistrust: more examples, documentation.Nick Mathewson2022-05-031-4/+109
|
* Add a SecureDir API for checked access to directoriesNick Mathewson2022-05-034-3/+266
| | | | | | The only way to get a SecureDir is by having checked a directory. Once you have one, it encourages you to open and create files and directories with the right permissions, and checks them for you.
* Add functionality to inspect directory content permissionsNick Mathewson2022-05-034-29/+129
| | | | Also, explain _why_ this is pretty important.

* Second cut at a fs-mistrust crate.Nick Mathewson2022-05-035-0/+1554
This crate is meant to solve #315 by giving a way to make sure that a file or directory is only accessible by trusted users. I've tried to explain carefully (in comments and documentation) what this crate is doing and why, under the assumption that it will someday be read by another person like me who does _not_ live and breathe unix file permissions. The crate is still missing some key features, noted in the TODO section. It differs from the first version of the crate by taking a more principled approach to directory checking: it emulates the path lookup process (reading symlinks and all) one path change at a time, thus ensuring that we check every directory which could enable an untrusted user to get to our target file, _or_ which could enable them to get to any symlink that would get them to the target file. The API is also slightly different: It separates the `Mistrust` object (where you configure what you do or do not trust) from the `Verifier` (where you set up a check that you want to perform on a single object). Verifiers are set up to be a bit ephemeral, so that it is hard to accidentally declare that _every_ object is meant to be readable when you only mean that _some_ objects may be readable.
