Comment 1 Troy Dawson 2013-01-04 16:37:55 UTC
Notes:
- License
Upstream has been notified of an absence of a License file.  Since the only script with any code in it has it's license in comments at the top, I figured that would do for now.
- Source1
Upstream had a glitch in their tagging, so the two main scripts are in their git repo, but not tagged into the 1.0.3 release.  This should be fixed in their next release.

Comment 2 Michael S. 2013-01-04 20:54:09 UTC
I have some concerns :

* There is 3 scripts, and 1 is just a exec "$@" without anything, and the 2nd one is just ruby "$@".

I guess that's a system to integrate scl into origin without using some configuration ? 

Wouldn't it be better to directly link those to bash and ruby instead of starting a process and a fork ?
At least, a comment in the script would help. ( but that's not blocking ).


* Also, there is some missing deps for the 3rd script ( oo-diagnotics ).
I see it use :
- bind-utils ( command host )
- rubygems ( command gem, but maybe that's now part of ruby, not sure about this )

Technically, i think there is also missing requires for 
ruby module for json ( ie rubygems-json ) and rest_client ( rubygems-rest-client ). However, as the script first check if this is a broker, then I guess no error can happen in practice, so I think this can be safely skipped.

That's blocking.


* the changelog is empty for :

  * Wed Nov 21 2012 Dan McPherson <dmcphers> 1.0.3-1
  -

while I guess that not a issue, it would be nice to just fill it :)


* test_broker_httpd_error_log and test_node_mco_log are insecure, as they use file in /tmp/. While this is not a easy predictable name ( as upstream used $$ ), that's still predictable during a very short period of time ( ie, between the moment the script is run and after the script start to use sed and grep redirected to the file ). 

And there is no check to see if the file already exist or anything like that. 

So it could be quite easily created in advance with a simple for loop, or if the script was run in some automatic fashion ( like nagios ), someone could create a file /tmp/oodiag-mco-1234  by getting the process id at the right moment. Usually, attackers tend to brute force by running the script often enough to catch it at the right moment, I do not see how this would be done in practice in this case.

Then, once you have the file name, you can do multiple fun things ( for some value of fun ) :
- 1) create a link to another file ( the script run as root, so it can overwrite almost anything, I am sure the system would not work as well with sorted error log in pam config file )
- 2) create a file with cooked error message to trigger a error for the script without them being real ( and using chattr +i on the file so the file redirection would silently fail ). I guess in a very specific totally invented scenario, this could be used to inject error message ( and that could be bad if that's show in a web page or anything ).

Definitely nothing serious or dangerous that would happen on a properly managed system ( due to kernel protection, etc ) but IMHO, something that could and should be corrected one day. I didn't fill a more formal bug as the package is not yet in Fedora, so no need for a CVE.

Comment 3 Troy Dawson 2013-01-09 20:04:11 UTC

SRPM URL: http://tdawson.fedorapeople.org/openshift-origin/openshift-origin-util-1.0.3-3.fc18.src.rpm

- Requires added: ruby, rubygems, bind-utils
- Changelog fixed
- Added comment to oo-exec-ruby explaining what it's for.  The same comment is in line to make it into the upstream oo-ruby.  so it will be there in the next release.
- Changed oo-diagnostics to use the ruby Tempfile for it's tempfiles.

Package Review
==============

Key:
[x] = Pass
[!] = Fail
[-] = Not applicable
[?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
  Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. No licenses found.
I guess you can convince upstream to ship a license for next release ?

- Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.
just add -p at the right place

- SourceX tarball generation or download is documented.
I assume this is just temporary, and will be correct for the next release

So, since everything is temporary and should be easy to fix, package is approved.
