and associated inet_is_local_unbindable_port() helper function:
use it to make explicitly binding to an unbindable port return
-EPERM 'Operation not permitted'.
Autobind doesn't honour this new sysctl since:
(a) you can simply set both if that's the behaviour you desire
(b) there could be a use for preventing explicit while allowing auto
(c) it's faster in the relatively critical path of doing port
selection
during connect() to only check one bitmap instead of both
Various ports may have special use cases which are not suitable for
use by general userspace applications. Currently, ports specified in
ip_local_reserved_ports sysctl will not be returned only in case of
automatic port assignment, but nothing prevents you from explicitly
binding to them - even from an entirely unprivileged process.
In certain cases it is desirable to prevent the host from assigning the
ports even in case of explicit binds, even from superuser processes.
Example use cases might be:
- a port being stolen by the nic for remote serial console, remote
power management or some other sort of debugging functionality
(crash collection, gdb, direct access to some other microcontroller
on the nic or motherboard, remote management of the nic itself).
- a transparent proxy where packets are being redirected: in case
a socket matches this connection, packets from this application
would be incorrectly sent to one of the endpoints.
Initially I wanted to solve this problem via the simple one line:
static inline bool inet_port_requires_bind_service(struct net *net,
unsigned short port) {
- return port < net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_prot_sock;
+ return port < net->ipv4.sysctl_ip_prot_sock ||
inet_is_local_reserved_port(net, port);
}
However, this doesn't work for two reasons:
(a) it changes userspace visible behaviour of the existing local
reserved ports sysctl, and there appears to be enough
documentation
on the internet talking about setting it to make this a bad idea
(b) it doesn't prevent privileged apps from using these ports,
CAP_BIND_SERVICE is relatively likely to be available to, for
example,
a recursive DNS server so it can listed on port 53, which also
needs
to do src port randomization for outgoing queries due to security
reasons (and it thus does manual port binding).
If we *know* that certain ports are simply unusable, then it's better
nothing even gets the opportunity to try to use them. This way we at
least get a quick failure, instead of some sort of timeout (or possibly
even corruption of the data stream of the non-kernel based use case).
Test:
vm:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports
vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6,
socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6,
socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
vm:~# echo 3967 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports
vm:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_unbindable_ports
3967
vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6,
socket.SOCK_STREAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
socket.error: (1, 'Operation not permitted')
vm:~# python -c 'import socket; s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6,
socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 0); s.bind(("::", 3967))'
socket.error: (1, 'Operation not permitted')
