RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dan Astoorian 2017-02-16 23:17:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Local authentication does not work with Amanda disk-based tape changer; using amrecover with "-o auth=local" fails to restore files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
amanda-3.3.3-17.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Configure Amanda to use a disk-based tape changer; e.g.:
define changer mychanger {
  tapedev "chg-disk:/path/to/dumps"
}
tapedev "mychanger"

2.
Run 
  amrecover DailySet1 -o auth=local
and attempt to extract a file from the chg-disk device.
3.

Actual results:
amrecover reports:
  Got no header and data from server, check in amidxtaped.*.debug and amandad.*.debug files on server

and the amidxtaped.*.debug file under /var/log/amanda/server/DailySet1 reports:
  amidxtaped: Insecure dependency in unlink while running setgid at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Amanda/Changer/disk.pm line 477.

Expected results:
The files should be successfully extracted.

Additional info:
Line 259 of ./amanda-3.3.3/common-src/local-security.c from amanda-3.3.3.tar.gz in the source RPM reads:
        setregid(uid, gid);

Clearly, this should instead be
        setregid(gid, gid);

Because the amandabackup user has uid=33 and gid=6(disk), amandad sets its credentials with gid=33 and egid=6; this triggers the Perl security check when amandad invokes amidxtaped.

Comment 2 Josef Ridky 2017-02-17 13:10:52 UTC
May I ask you for test of following amanda version [1] ?
This scratch-build should contain fix of described problem.

Comment 3 Dan Astoorian 2017-02-17 14:11:38 UTC
I cannot test this--I am not a Red Hat employee, and brewweb.engineering.redhat.com appears to be an internal site--it has no public IP address.

Does the scratch-build contain the source code fix I described?

Yes, this build contains patch from attachment (see comment #4).
This issue is even in upstream version (upstream contacted already).
