From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Epiphany/1.6.3 Description of problem: It is possible to cause /var/cache/.security.db to be created in such a way that its group ownership is a regular user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam_ccreds-1-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as a regular user (A). 2. Log in to another terminal (B) as root. 3. Configure the system to use pam_ccreds. 4. Using login A, su to another user. Actual Results: Pam_ccreds will create /var/cache/.security.db. However, it will be group-owned by the regular user (A) not root (B). Expected Results: /var/cache/.security.db should be owned by root:root. Additional info:
As the file is not readable and writable by group I think the severity of this issue is really low.
This bug still exists in pam_ccreds-7-1.fc9.ppc. I have tried to submit a bug in pam_ccred's upstream Bugzilla (PADL), but there is no pam_ccreds project in their Bugzilla. I have requested that PADL add a pam_ccreds project to their Bugzilla so that I may file a report. See http://bugzilla.padl.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227.
My solution would be to create empty .security.db as a %ghost file in the rpm and if it doesn't exist when %post is run it would be created by: cc_test -update any root '' /var/cache/.security.db Do you think that it would be OK? Note that calling setresuid() in pam_sm_authenticate is undesirable as this breaks multithreaded apps.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
