Older versions of Libevent are happy to open SOCK_DGRAM sockets
non-cloexec and non-nonblocking, and then set those flags
afterwards. It's nice to be able to allow a flag to be on or off in
the sandbox without having to enumerate all its values.
Also, permit PF_INET6 sockets. (D'oh!)
Libevent uses an arc4random implementation (I know, I know) to
generate DNS transaction IDs and capitalization. But it liked to
initialize it either with opening /dev/urandom (which won't work
under the sandbox if it doesn't use the right pointer), or with
sysctl({CTL_KERN,KERN_RANDOM,RANDOM_UUIC}). To make _that_ work, we
were permitting sysctl unconditionally. That's not such a great
idea.
Instead, we try to initialize the libevent PRNG _before_ installing
the sandbox, and make sysctl always fail with EPERM under the
sandbox.
The compiler doesn't warn about this code:
rc = seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(openat), 1,
SCMP_CMP(0, SCMP_CMP_EQ, AT_FDCWD),
SCMP_CMP(1, SCMP_CMP_EQ, param->value),
SCMP_CMP(2, SCMP_CMP_EQ, O_RDONLY|...));
but note that the arg_cnt argument above is only 1. This means that
only the first filter (argument 0 == AT_FDCWD) is actually checked!
This patch also fixes the above error in the openat() filter.
Earlier I fixed corresponding errors in filters for rename() and
mprotect().
Appearently, the majority of the filenames we pass to
sandbox_cfg_allow() functions are "freeable right after". So, consider
_all_ of them safe-to-steal, and add a tor_strdup() in the few cases
that aren't.
(Maybe buggy; revise when I can test.)
(If we don't restrict rename, there's not much point in restricting
open, since an attacker could always use rename to make us open
whatever they want.)
This involves some duplicate code between backtrace.c and sandbox.c,
but I don't see a way around it: calling more functions would mean
adding more steps to our call stack, and running clean_backtrace()
against the wrong point on the stack.
We had accidentially grown two fake ones: one for backtrace.c, and one
for sandbox.c. Let's do this properly instead.
Now, when we configure logs, we keep track of fds that should get told
about bad stuff happening from signal handlers. There's another entry
point for these that avoids using non-signal-handler-safe functions.
tor_malloc returns void *; in C, it is not necessary to cast a
void* to another pointer type before assigning it.
tor_malloc fails with an error rather than returning NULL; it's not
necessary to check its output. (In one case, doing so annoyed Coverity.)
SCMP_CMP(a,b,c) leaves the fourth field of the structure undefined,
giving a missing-initializer error. All of our uses are
three-argument, so I'm overriding the default.
