[Bug 1217402] New: AUDIT-FIND: Updating server configuration as root while parsing untrusted data
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217402 Bug ID: 1217402 Summary: AUDIT-FIND: Updating server configuration as root while parsing untrusted data Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: fstrba@suse.com Reporter: jsegitz@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- With the new tomcat10 packages I stumbled across: 687 %post webapps 688 %{serverxmltool} add-context.xslt docBase=%{tomcatappdir}/ROOT path=/ 689 %{serverxmltool} add-context.xslt docBase=%{tomcatappdir}/sample path=/sample 690 %{serverxmltool} add-context.xslt docBase=%{tomcatappdir}/examples path=/examples This translates to e.g. /usr/libexec/tomcat/serverxml-tool.sh add-context.xslt docBase=/usr/share/tomcat/tomcat-webapps/ROOT path=/ serverxml-tool.sh invokes java with serverxmltool.jar to update /etc/tomcat/server.xml. All of this runs as root and parses XML. I didn't find a security issue with this (but also just spend a couple of minutes on this), but it's a bigger risk than necessary. Apart from overwriting the config file root privileges are not needed. Especially the java call should not run as root, xml operations are notoriously dangerous. runuser is a good tool for this. You can do the XML parsing as the tomcat user and then if necessary overwrite the tomcat config with an update file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
