From: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me <at> tobias.gr> To: guix-patches <at> gnu.org Subject: Add support for file capabilities(7) Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2023 21:37:54 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi Guix,
I need to offload some of my eternally rebased local patches.
Here's one that makes it easy to assign capabilities(7) —
currently through setcap(8) — to programmes like we can
set{u,g}id.
There are many packages that benefit from this. Mine are:
(privileged-programs
(cons* (privileged-program
(file-append mtr "/sbin/mtr")
(capabilities "cap_net_raw+ep"))
(privileged-program
(file-append nethogs "/sbin/nethogs")
(capabilities "cap_net_admin,cap_new_raw+ep"))
(privileged-program
(file-append light "/bin/light")
(setuid? #t))
%default-privileged-programs))
The set's over a year old and needs a bit of love. Some details
might have bitrot, I probably forgot a to-do or two in that year,
and there's something unguixy about calling setcap(8) instead of
writing a completely new Guile binding/module :-)
I'm quite opinionated about the setuid-programs unification: there
should not be multiple confusing and masking layers of privilege,
and it should be possible to setgid a capable executable.
Kind regards,
T G-R

It has been a warning for well over a year now. Now, with
privileged-programs coming, don't let's support nested deprecation
hacks.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>):
Don't ‘sanitize’ the setuid-programs field.
(ensure-setuid-program-list): Delete syntax.
(%ensure-setuid-program-list): Delete variable.

Create /run/setuid-programs compatibility symlinks so that we can
migrate all users (both package and human) piecemeal at our leisure.
Apart from being symlinks, this should be a user-invisible change.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (%privileged-program-directory): New variable.
[activate-setuid-programs]: Put privileged copies in
%PRIVILEGED-PROGRAM-DIRECTORY, with compatibility symlinks to each in
%SETUID-DIRECTORY.
* gnu/services.scm (setuid-program-service-type): Update docstring.
* doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Update @file{} name accordingly.

So you mean that ‘privileged-programs’ should entirely replace
‘setuid-programs’, right?
I’m a bit unsure about using file capabilities:
1. File capabilities are persistent and less visible than setuid bits
(you won’t see them with “ls -l”), so easily overlooked. Could
there be a risk of lingering file capabilities when reconfiguring a
system?
2. How ’bout portability to different file systems and to GNU/Hurd?
3. What’s the complexity/benefit ratio? :-)
Then there’s the compatibility story with moving from
/run/setuid-programs to /run/privileged-programs etc. that’ll have to be
handled with care.
I’m very much sold to the principle of least authority, but I feel like
POSIX capabilities (not to be confused with “actual” capabilities) are a
bit of a hack.
Thoughts?

Does reconfigure leave old setuid binaries laying around in
/run/setuid-programs currently? That sounds like leaking state from
previous generations into the current generation, and should be fixed if
it is indeed the case.
Seems like with setuid/setgid and the proposed priviledged binaries, the
setuid/setgid bits and capabilties should be explicitly set on any
defined binaries, and any that are left over in the /run/*-programs
directories should be... forcibly removed! Otherwise your current system
is vulnerable to previous potentially bad choices indefinitely...
Basically, guix system reconfigure should be fastidious and ideally
deterministic with generating and updating /run/*-programs ...
> 2. How ’bout portability to different file systems and to GNU/Hurd?
Currently I *think* /run/setuid-programs is tmpfs (at least on systems I
have used running a linux-libre kernel) ... I do not think this attempts
to change that...; we probably do not need broad filesystem
compatibility, just whatever filesystem /run/*-programs is implemented
on.
And since they are not compatibly with GNU/Hurd, then let us drop
support for x86_64-linux, riscv64-linux, ppc64el-linux, arm64-linux,
etc. ... to make sure things are compatible! :P
In all seriousness though, while I appreciate thinking about broad
compatibility across different types of systems, I am a bit nervous
about an approach that would require features to behave compatibly
across all systems...
...though I suspect you were more getting at "What are the consequences
of implementing this for some other system types?"

I am less opinionated about adding yet another directory to PATH,
although obivously then you get into the weird issues with old $PATH
values laying around (e.g. not getting the new directory added until
logging out or re-loading the running profile)

And setuid/setgid is not a hack? It seems like essentially the same
thing, just with no granularity...
> Thoughts?
There are some things that are just not possible without capabilities,
and setuid/setgid is a dangerous hammer that should be used very
sparingly, if at all, and capabilities are no *worse* that
setuid/setgid, allowing a finer grained set of problems :)
The need for this functionality has come up more than a few times:

That aspect seems fixable with documentation in the simplest case of how to show that /run/*-programs contains the correct permissions, e.g a brief mention of "getcap" to show the capabilities. The most fancy case I quickly think of might be "guix system list-privledged-programs" or some such that would display all the various privledges (setuid, setgid, capabilities, etc.) on each of the binaries in /run/*-programs? But probably overkill... >>> 2. How ’bout portability to different file systems and to GNU/Hurd? >> >> Currently I *think* /run/setuid-programs is tmpfs > > It’s not by default. Huh, could have sworn on all my guix systems that /run was on tmpfs by default, and I did not knowingly do anything special to change that... >> In all seriousness though, while I appreciate thinking about broad >> compatibility across different types of systems, I am a bit nervous >> about an approach that would require features to behave compatibly >> across all systems... > > I guess All I’m saying is that we should keep this in mind. > > Perhaps the hypothetical ‘activate-privileged-programs’ procedure would > fall back to setuid-root on GNU/Hurd or do some other Hurd-specific > thing. We don’t need to go too far, but we do need to give it some > thought IMO. If it cannot properly set the capabilities, then it should not assume setuid-root is an ok fallback; it should instead most definitely just fail! At least the case I am most familiar with, lcsync, it really should not run as setuid-root, as that effectively allows anyone to modify or copy any file as root. Although, likely Hurd limits the impacts of setuid root in ways I do not understand? Even then, I still think if you ask for something in your guix system configuration, and it cannot deliver what you asked for, it should not give you something else as an approximation of what you wanted. Maybe that is a strict interpretation of an ideal, and reality is much harder than that. :) live well, vagrant

Yeah, you’re right that an approximation could be risky… Thanks, Ludo’.

It has been a warning for well over a year now. Now, with
privileged-programs coming, don't let's support nested deprecation
hacks.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>):
Don't ‘sanitize’ the setuid-programs field.
(ensure-setuid-program-list): Delete syntax.
(%ensure-setuid-program-list): Delete variable.

This is a quick snapshot of my rebased tree at the request of vagrantc.
There shouldn't be any functional changes. If there are, that's cool too.

Thanks for the refreshed v2 patches! I gave them a quick spin... As noted on IRC, apparently it lacks actual calls to setcap, so that part still needs another patch at least! Otherwise, it did seem to more-or-less work... There are compatibility symlinks from /run/setuid-programs to /run/privledged/bin and it sets setuid on requested files. I was a little curious about why /run/privlidged/bin as opposed to without /bin ... keeping the door open for other privlidged things? What about things that come from /gnu/store/*/sbin ? are those handled any differently? My only concern is... wow is it hard, even for a native speaker, to spell privileged! live well, vagrant

Oh, I noticed on reconfiguring back to a system without the patches to support /run/privileged configurations ... the /run/privileged directory is still present, with all those files sitting there in their previous state. This is why I think at least by default, many other distros implement /run as a tmpfs or similar, so that it at least gets thrown out at reboot. Though this is obviously a deeper problem than just this patch series... I will file a separate bug about that. live well, vagrant

It turns out that the /run/current-system symlink is activated before all non-root mounts, so mounting /run afterwards causes everything to break. I don't have a solution, and haven't even looked at it past this, but maybe this report will help. -bjc

Working patches aside, that is my only outstanding question, and I would hate to see that be a blocker. :) In short, "ping" :) live well, vagrant

Yay! These patches were started over a year ago(well, probably before that, even), and had a working implementation about 6 months ago... My guess is the main blocker is nervousness about renaming setuid-programs to privilidged-programs (I know I am a bit nervous to do so!)? This would make it possible to properly fix several bugs: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/27415 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39136 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/39136 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55683 And have been mentioned indirectly in several others over the years: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=setcap live well, vagrant

It shouldn’t be an issue as /run/setuid-programs is populated with symlinks for backward compatibility. AIUI, we can still use good’ol setuid programs on the Hurd until a better solution is found, so we should be fine (meaning “make check-system TESTS=childhurd” should pass). We could emit a deprecation warning when someone uses the ‘setuid-programs’ field of <operating-system>. Not a blocker though. Tobias, ready to push? :-) Cheers, Ludo’.

Hey Tobias & all, Thanks for pushing this series!! I followed up with these commits: ce40b1c655 install: Set ‘privileged-programs’ rather than ‘setuid-programs’. b51990057c system: hurd: Empty default ‘privileged-programs’ list. 2cccf2f11c services: Truly mark ‘setuid-program-service-type’ as deprecated. 52ac2db924 services: privileged-program: No libcap when cross-compiling to the Hurd. They restore support for Guix System cross-compilation to GNU/Hurd, as tested with: make check-system TESTS=childhurd Let me know if I got anything wrong! Note that there’s a number of internal uses of ‘setuid-program-service-type’ that we should update at some point (no rush, though). Thanks, Ludo’.
