Hi Miklos,
Here's a further version of the patch, against 2.6.26rc2, with the
2008-05-19 git changes you sent me applied. This patch is based on
the draft patch you sent me. I've tested this version of the patch,
and it works as for all cases except the one mentioned below. But
note the following points:
1) I didn't make use of the code in notify_change() that checks
IS_IMMUTABLE() and IS_APPEND() (i.e., I did not add
ATTR_OWNER_CHECK to the mask in the controlling if statement).
Doing this can't easily be made to work for the
do_futimes() case without reworking the arguments passed to
notify_change(). Actually, I'm inclined to doubt whether it
is a good idea to try to roll that check into notify_change() --
at least for utimensat() it seems simpler to not do so.
2) I've found yet another divergence from the spec -- but this
was in the original implementation, rather than being
something that has been introduced. In do_futimes() there is
if (!times && !(file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
write_error = -EACCES;
However, the check here should not be against the f_mode (file access
mode), but the against actual permission of the file referred to by
the underlying descriptor. This means that for the do_futimes() +
times==NULL case, a set-user-ID root program could open a file
descriptor O_RDWR/O_WRONLY for which the real UID does not have write
access, and then even after reverting the the effective UID, the real
user could still update file.
I'm not sure of the correct way to get the required nameidata (to do a
vfs_permission() call) from the file descriptor. Can you give me a
tip there?
Cheers,
Michael
