Description JianHong Yin 2014-07-04 07:21:23 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1116281 +++

Description of problem:
TCP_WRAPPERS SUPPORT does not work well:

In man page rpc.mountd(8) said:
TCP_WRAPPERS SUPPORT
       You can protect your rpc.mountd listeners using the tcp_wrapper library or iptables(8).
       Note that the tcp_wrapper library supports only IPv4 networking.

but after do: echo -e "mountd:ALL\nstatd:ALL\n" > $Deny
mount still success.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all version in RHEL-5.11 RHEL-6.6 RHEL-7.0

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. servcie nfs restart
2. echo -e "mountd:ALL\nstatd:ALL\n" > $Deny #Deny=/etc/hosts.deny
3. mount -o vers=$V $IP4:$exportDir $nfsmp   #expect fail

Actual results:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[03:03:36 root@ ~~]# echo -e "mountd:ALL\nstatd:ALL\n" > $Deny
:: [   PASS   ] :: Running 'echo -e "mountd:ALL\nstatd:ALL\n" > $Deny' (Expected 0, got 0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[03:03:36 root@ ~~]# mount -o vers=$V $IP4:$exportDir $nfsmp
:: [   FAIL   ] :: Mounting via nfs exported disk locally - should FAIL (Expected 1-255, got 0)

Expected results:
mount should fail when write mountd:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny

Comment 4 Steve Dickson 2014-07-09 15:23:39 UTC
The problem here is mountd is used differently with v4 mounts and v3/v2 mounts.

With v4 the kernel makes a upcall to get the export information
mountd: v4root_create: path '/' flags 0x12405
mountd: Version 1.2.3 starting
mountd: auth_unix_ip: inbuf 'nfsd 10.19.60.73'
mountd: auth_unix_ip: client 0x7f98660c2a50 '*'
mountd: nfsd_fh: inbuf '* 1 \x00000000'
mountd: nfsd_fh: found 0x7f98660cdcc0 path /
mountd: nfsd_export: inbuf '* /home'
mountd: nfsd_export: found 0x7f98660ccf50 path /home
mountd: nfsd_fh: inbuf '* 6 \x809b7df9c858431299acc5a3403cca8d'
mountd: nfsd_fh: found 0x7f98660ccf60 path /home

With v3/v2 mounts the client make RPC calls to mountd directly.
Those calls are covered by the tcp wrapper calls. \
mountd: from_local: updating local if addr list
mountd: from_local: checked 7 local if addrs; incoming address not found
mountd: connect from 10.19.60.73 denied: request from unauthorized host
mountd: check_default: access by 10.19.60.73 DENIED

which does work... So the question is do we want to expand the tcp wrapper
to v4 mounts or change the documentation so it explains the tcp wrappers
are only in effect with v3/v2 mounts... I say the latter...

Looks fine... Can you please post this upstream at linux-nfs.org
with the proper Signed-off-by: line and description?

tia!
