# Upstream patch on top of v8.23 (to be removed in v8.24): # https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=0cf7b1d9 # Fixes a regression in chroot which did not chdir("/") in all cases. From 0c7abd9e8e1d1725ae600daa3ac9bbf8333f93c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernhard Voelker Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 02:07:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] chroot: perform chdir("/") again unless new --skip-chdir is specified Since commit v8.22-94-g99960ee, chroot(1) skips the chroot(2) syscall for "/" arguments (and synonyms). The problem is that it also skips the following chdir("/") call in that case. The latter breaks existing scripts which expect "/" to be the working directory inside the chroot. While the first part of the change - i.e., skipping chroot("/") - is okay for consistency with systems where it might succeed for a non-root user, the second part might be malicious, e.g. cd /home/user && chroot '/' bin/foo In the "best" case, chroot(1) could not execute 'bin/foo' with ENOENT, but in the worst case, chroot(1) would execute '/home/user/bin/foo' in the case that exists - instead of '/bin/foo'. Revert that second part of the patch, i.e., perform the chdir("/) in the common case again - unless the new --skip-chdir option is specified. Restrict this new option to the case of "/" arguments. * src/chroot.c (SKIP_CHDIR): Add enum. (long_opts): Add entry for the new --skip-chdir option. (usage): Add --skip-chdir option, and while at it, move the other to options into alphabetical order. (main): Accept the above new option, allowing it only in the case when NEWROOT is the old "/". Move down the chdir() call after the if-clause to ensure it is run in any case - unless --skip-chdir is specified. Add a 'newroot' variable for the new root directory as it is used in a couple of places now. * tests/misc/chroot-fail.sh: Invert the last tests which check the working directory of the execvp()ed program when a "/"-like argument was passed: now expect it to be "/" - unless --skip-chdir is given. * doc/coreutils.texi (chroot invocation): Document the new option. Document that chroot(1) usually calls chdir("/") unless the new --skip-chdir option is specified. Sort options. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention the fix. (New features): Mention the new option. * init.cfg (nonroot_has_perm_): Add chroot's new --skip-chdir option. * tests/cp/preserve-gid.sh (t1): Likewise. * tests/cp/special-bits.sh: Likewise. * tests/id/setgid.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-2eperm.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/no-give-up.sh: Likewise. * tests/touch/now-owned-by-other.sh: Likewise.
