[vdagent-linux v1 0/8] do not allow file transfer on locked session

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series is about drag-and-drop in locked session. The issue itself is a bit
of a corner case which could allow a 'malicious' user to copy files to the
~/Download folder of the user that is logged but with a locked session.

I found this as a good opportunity to work a bit on the integration with
systemd-logind and console-kit.

My tests are around GNOME under rhel6[0] (console-kit) and rhel7[1] (logind).

[0] rhel6: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1323630
[1] rhel7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1323623

This series is using the dbus api from console-kit and logind to track the
proper signals such as 'Lock' and 'Unlock' to give the agent the status of
session.

For upstream and rhel7 we still need a fix in another component that should do
the Lock/Unlock using the systemd-logind functions. This seems to be expected
by systems that rely on logind so it should not be a problem. In GNOME3, it was
suggested to address it in gnome-shell. Bug is:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764773

Like upstream/rhel7, systems that rely on console-kit must trigger its
Lock/Unlock signals. Another signal that seems interesting to track is the
IndleHintChanged. On my tests in rhel6, Lock/Unlock was not triggered (which is
probably a bug somewhere that I have no filed yet) but the IdleHintChanged
worked well.

I also did some small clean-up in the console-kit, I hope it looks fine :)

** log from rhel6/rhel7 when drag-and-drop on locked session:
<spice-vdagentd>
spice-vdagentd[665]: Session is locked, skipping file-xfer-start
spice-vdagentd[665]: User's session is locked and cannot start file transfer.
                     Cancelling client file-xfer request 4
spice-vdagentd[665]: Session is locked, skipping file-xfer-start
spice-vdagentd[665]: User's session is locked and cannot start file transfer.
                     Cancelling client file-xfer request 5
</spice-vdagentd>

** on logind systems you can check for the session you are running with command [2]
and trigger the Lock with command [3]. You can monitor all signals with [4] ;)

[2] dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1
/org/freedesktop/login1 "org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.ListSessions"

[3] (object path of my session is this _34 one)
gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path
/org/freedesktop/login1/session/_34 --method org.freedesktop.login1.Session.Lock

[4] gdbus monitor  --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path
/org/freedesktop/login1/session/_34

Victor Toso (8):
  session-info: introduce session_is_locked method
  build-sys: console-kit with dbus as default
  console-kit: use define for dbus paths
  console-kit: use standard name for session-info var
  console-kit: save verbosity level for debugging
  console-kit: include signal handler function
  console-kit: include handler for dbus match
  console-kit: implement session_is_locked
