[PATCH 0/3] Avoid DNS Reverse lookups when possible

[PATCH 0/3] Avoid DNS Reverse lookups when possible

[Simo Sorce]

This new patchset obsoletes the patch sent earlier today.
The first and third patch are obvious.

The second patch implement a new command line option -N that takes
an on|off argument.

When 'on' is specified the RPC Server name as passed from the kernel
to rpc.gssd is check to see if it really is an actual IP address, if it
is the current code is executed (and reverse resolution happens),
otherwise the name used at the mount option is used directly w/o any
DNS resolution to construct the GSSAPI name.

Avoiding Reverse name resolution helps making the system work when PTR records
cannot be properly set on a network (because the amdin does not control DNS for
example) and also avoids a potential MITM attack (as explained early on in the
original patch thread).

[PATCH 1/3] Fix segfault when using -R option

[Simo Sorce]

The getopt string did not add : after the R option resulting in a sefgault
whenever -R was used as optarg is NULL and it is dereferenced.

[PATCH 2/3] Avoid reverse resolution for server name

[Simo Sorce]

A NFS client should be able to work properly even if the DNS Reverse record
for the server is not set. There is no excuse to forcefully prevent that
from working when it can.

This patch adds a new -N option that takes an 'on' or 'off' argument and
controls whether forced PTR resolution is avoided (on) or performed (off)

To avoid breaking current behavior the option defaults to off by default,
ideally we will turn this on by default after a transition period.

'-N' already has a very different meaning on rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd. It might therefore be better to choose a different name to avoid confusion.
Also, why do a single option with an 'on/off' argument instead of just choosing 2 options ?

Well Jeff seemed to suggest that way, I do not have any preference, can
you please give me 2 letters to use ?

Meanwhile I'll check rpc.statd as well.

I checked rpc.statd with a quick "git grep getnameinfo", and as far as I
can see PTR lookups are done only if the 'name' is actually an IP
address, but skipped if not. So I think rpc.statd is ok.

I see rpc.statd uses getaddrinfo with hints set to AI_NUMERICHOST, if
that's preferred over using inet_pton I can change my patches to do the
same.

Simo.

Ok I looked at doing it, and looked at a helper function to reuse to
avoid duplication, however the functions in statd/hostname.c are static,
then I looked ad host_pton in support/export/hostname.c and realized 2
things:
- the comments there say inet_pton is actually better for what I need to
do, in fact inet_pton is used as a filter before calling getaddrinfo.
- the function can't be used in gssd_proc.c as the file is not linked
there.

So given the above I would prefer to not change the use of inet_pton in
the patches and leave them as is.

Simo.

FWIW, doesn't much matter to me...

You just want some clear way to designate what behavior you want, and
some way to tell whether it was specified at all (so you can disable
the warning if it was).

Do we really what two options? why not just have something like -Z that will restore today default?

[PATCH 0/2] Alternative patchset to avoid PTR lookups

This one does the same thing as the previous but uses -z/-Z options.

Pick the one you like most, but this one is less code, so I guess it is
porefereable.

[PATCH 1/2] Avoid reverse resolution for server name

[Simo Sorce]

A NFS client should be able to work properly even if the DNS Reverse record
for the server is not set. There is no excuse to forcefully prevent that
from working when it can.

This patch adds a new pair of options (-z/-Z) that allow to turn on/off
DNS reverse resolution for determining the server name to use with GSSAPI.

To avoid breaking current behavior the option defaults to off by default,
ideally we will turn this on by default after a transition period.

By the way I think with the "new" upcall, gssd ignores whatever it got
out of the info file if the "target=" parameter is provided in the
upcall.

(But looking at the code I think that's only used in the nfsv4.0
callback case, and isn't worth mentioning here.)

Correct.

Wrong. It is also used for NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 state management.
IOW: SETCLIENTID/RENEW and for NFSv4.1 EXCHANGE_ID/SEQUENCE; anything
that uses clp->cl_machine_cred.

I was talk about "target=", but I believe you're talking about
"service=".

The former is a server name (myserver.example.com), the latter a service
name (nfs).

Right, but gssd_refresh_krb5_machine_credential combines both in order
to create the keytab entry.

Never mind. I see what you mean: we only set the
rpc_client->cl_principal for the case of NFSv4 callbacks to the client.

The idea is to switch the default in the code at some point, so then -Z
will be needed to get back to the original behavior.

The idea is that by having both flags a distribution may choose to
decide now what behavior they want and use the relative flag. Then even
if we change the default their configuration will not "break".

As you wish, I do not have hard preferences, should we take the bait and
also by default *not* do PTR lookups ?

I was thinking no. Leaves the default as is and used the -z to avoid the
lookup... 

I'm struggling with how big of a problem this really is, so why should be break
existing environments? I'm no DNS expert but I thinking not have PTR is 
a DNS config issue... but again I'm no expert...

Argh, no, one away or another the default needs to be to not do the PTR
lookup.

The transition Simo's using was Jeff's suggestion.  Let's just stick to
that if we don't have a good reason.

(But I don't have strong opinions about how to do it either.  I'd
actually be OK with being harsh and just switching to the new behavior
without any option.)

Yeah... I would like to avoid adding to flags... I don't think both are

My crutch is I'm not a big DNS guy so I'm not sure how much breakage 
would occur... So I would rather be on the safe side and give people
a way to go back...

So, yes to flags.  I'm confused!

I guess we can be moderately harsh: switch to the new default and
provide only a flag to restore the old default for whoever wants it, but
not a flag to specify the new default.  Is that what you mean?

I think the above is the best course of action at this point. My
original thinking was "let's transition to the new behavior gracefully"
-- start with the default as-is, and then after suitably warning
everyone switch the default to the new behavior.

Now there's a CVE in play though, so I think our hands are tied here.
We have to change the default to the new behavior now without any sort
of graceful transition. That's likely to break in some environments at
least, so I think we need some mechanism to allow people to switch gssd
to the old behavior.

Note too that the problems are not likely to be "lack of a PTR record",
but rather that they have multiple A records pointing at the server. In
that situation, the ai_canonname field in the addrinfo struct may not
match what the PTR record points to, depending on which server name you
use.
