Bugreport on Ubuntu LTS: not ok - 2 Objects creation does not break ACLs with restrictive umask

[Stefan Beller]

Hello,

so I just pulled the new git v1.7.10.4 and tried to test it with
> make test
This yields this output:
stderr http://pastebin.com/V8yuZFfi
stdout http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6520164/git/maketest.txt

In Test 1304 there is
not ok - 2 Objects creation does not break ACLs with restrictive umask

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Linux sb 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu
SMP Wed May 23 20:30:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Best Regards,
Stefan Beller

Interesting. I've seen t1304 break from time to time.

I set the DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET to "prove", and when the test suite
finishes with this failure, I noticed t3600-rm and some other test I
do not recall also failed, with two extra files (actual and expect)
at the root of the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY (set to /dev/shm/testpen
via "--root=/dev/shm/testpen" option).

I the breakage does not happen reproducibly with any pattern other
than the above (I do not know if it never happens when test target
is set to "test", for example), so haven't looked (and will not
look) into it myself further than that.

Hmph.  Running the test manually does not seem to fail for me and
gives the "r--" mask.

I am lost.  Matthieu, you introduced this as a failing test with
7aba618 (Add a testcase for ACL with restrictive umask.,
2010-02-22), as part of the series leading to 5256b00 (Use
git_mkstemp_mode instead of plain mkstemp to create object files,
2010-02-22).  Any ideas (other than "Your filesystem is broken",
that is)?  As far as I can tell, with 'mask::---', these specific
users who are given permissions to read from the objects wouldn't be
able to read from them, so...

Can you run it with --verbose and post the result?

I'm very tempted to go for the "Your filesystem is broken" indeed.

That's my understanding too.

Stefan, which filesystem are you using in the directory where you run
tests (type "mount" if you don't know)? Are you running on a virtual
machine?

So I am using /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw), but my user account

This is not run inside a virtual machine, it's a native computer.

[Stefan Beller]

Just did a short google search and found this:
http://serverfault.com/questions/294158/enable-acl-for-ecryptfs-mounted-home-directory

So I am convinced my filesystem is just broken as you said ;)

It's very likely that ecryptfs is the problem, then. Googling around, I
find conflicting reports on whether it actually supports ACLs or not.

At the top of the test script we check that "setfacl" doesn't report an
error, and assume that ACLs work if it doesn't. Maybe that test needs to
be more comprehensive, like the patch below. What happens when you run
t1304 with this patch (my expectation is that it will just skip the acl
tests)?

-- >8 --
Subject: t1304: improve setfacl prerequisite setup

Some filesystems will cause "setfacl" to report success, even
though they do not seem to behave sanely enough for our
tests. Let's make sure that not only does setfacl work, but
that we can read back the result.

Since we're making the setup more complex, let's move it
into its own test. This will hide the output for us unless
the user wants to run "-v" to see it (and we don't need to
bother printing anything about setfacl failing; the
remaining tests will properly print "skip" due to the
missing prerequisite).

Yes, Jeff's patch checks for a "working" setfacl/getfacl, but does not
check for subtle brokenness of it.

I'd say a filesystem that accepts setfacl, returns the right line in
getfacl, and then does not really work is broken, and it's a feature
that the testsuite shows test failures. A simple fix for you would be to
disable ACLs, either on your system or in your $HOME.

Hmm. So it seems that the test setfacl does actually work, but for some
reason what git does is making ecryptfs unhappy (but not any other
filesystem).

I just made a test ecryptfs filesystem, and I can easily replicate your
problem. I'll see if I can find out what git is doing to create this
weird state.

I found the problem. If you create a file on an ecryptfs filesystem with
a restrictive mode, then the inherited mask bits get cleared. For
example:

  # if you don't have one already, create an ecryptfs mount; you
  # will need the ecryptfs-utils package on Debian and Ubuntu
  ecryptfs-setup-private
  ecryptfs-mount-private
  cd Private

  # now set up an inherited mask
  setfacl -m d:m:rwx .

  # and create some files with different permissions
  perl -MFcntl -e '
    sysopen(X, "a", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0666);
    sysopen(X, "b", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0600);
  '

  # and then check the permissions
  getfacl a b

which yields:

  # file: a
  # owner: peff
  # group: peff
  user::rw-
  group::---
  mask::r--
  other::---

  # file: b
  # owner: peff
  # group: peff
  user::rw-
  group::---
  mask::---
  other::---

That just seems wrong to me.

Hmm, no I'm wrong. That is OK, as the mask should be restricted by the
group permission (and it is on ext4, too). But when I traced through
git, the tmp_obj_* files are created with the right permissions on ext4,
but not on ecryptfs. Let me trace through it again...<sigh>

OK, here's the _real_ issue. Git creates with mode 0444, which should
still allow read in the mask. But it's the restrictive umask at the top
of the test script that causes the problem. Try this:

  setfacl -m m:rwx .
  perl -MFcntl -e 'sysopen(X, "a", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0444)'
  umask 077
  perl -MFcntl -e 'sysopen(X, "b", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0444)'
  getfacl a b

On ext4, both files will have the read bit set in the mask. On ecryptfs,
"b" will have an empty mask. I think the wrong thing is that we should
not be respecting umask at all when default ACLs are in play, and
ecryptfs is getting that wrong. But I'm having trouble digging up an
authoritative source.

Reading the withdrawn posix 1003.1e and "man 5 acl", it seems pretty
clear that if a default ACL is present, it should be used, and umask
consulted only if it is not (so the umask should not be making a
difference in this case).

The reproduction recipe above shows the minimum required to trigger it;
adding a more realistic default ACL (with actual entries for users) does
not seem to make a difference.

Thanks; so combining the above with your earlier patch to 1304 we
would have a good detection for SETFACL prerequisite?

Yes, I think we can detect it reliably. I'd like to hear back from
ecryptfs folks before making a final patch, though. It may be that there
is some subtle reason for their behavior, and I want to make sure before
we write it off as just buggy.

It is likely a bug in the eCryptfs filesystem stacking code.

However, using the above script, I get the same results on eCryptfs as I
do on ext4 in the Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) LTS:

# file: a
# owner: tyhicks
# group: tyhicks
user::r--
group::r--
other::r--

# file: b
# owner: tyhicks
# group: tyhicks
user::r--
group::---
other::---

Stefan - can you specify which LTS release you're running as well as the
output of `cat /proc/version_signature`? Thanks!

Hi Tyler et all,

thanks for all your help :)

cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 3.2.0-25.40-generic 3.2.18

I filed a bug at launchpad, which contains all my OS versions etc,
please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1009207
I marked it as security issue as it deals with ACL.

Thanks for all the help here on the git mailing list.

A happy git user,
Stefan

[PATCH] t1304: improve setfacl prerequisite setup

[Jeff King]

t1304 first runs setfacl as an experiment to see whether the
filesystem supports ACLs, and skips the remaining tests if
it does not. However, our setfacl run did not exercise the
ACLs very well, and some filesystems may support our initial
setfacl, but not the rest of the test.

In particular, some versions of ecryptfs will erroneously
apply the umask on top of an inherited directory ACL,
causing our tests to fail. Let's be more careful and make
sure both that we can read back the user ACL we set, and
that the inherited ACL is propagated correctly. The latter
catches the ecryptfs bug, but may also catch other bugs
(e.g., an implementation which does not handle inherited
ACLs at all).

Since we're making the setup more complex, let's move it
into its own test. This will hide the output for us unless
the user wants to run "-v" to see it (and we don't need to
bother printing anything about setfacl failing; the
remaining tests will properly print "skip" due to the
missing prerequisite).

The ecryptfs response was that it is probably a bug, so I think we
should go with this (especially because it is general enough to
potentially catch other weird errors).

At this point of the test, I do not think there is anything that can
cause this check to be fooled by a user whose name is 'mask', but
please make it a habit to anchor the pattern at the left.  The tests
done in check_perms_and_acl do risk getting fooled by a user whose
name is 'mask', and need to be updated, I think, but that is a
separate issue.

I intentionally did not anchor it because the tests themselves did not,
and I worried that that there was some subtle portability issue there
(especially because of the magic "let there be two colons" part of the
pattern).

If it was just sloppiness in the original test, then yes, they should
all be fixed.

OK, fair enough (the "two colons" one I think was for Solaris).

It was indeed for Solaris.  I don't recall any other differences in
the output between Solaris and Linux, so you could add the anchor and
see if anyone makes noise.  I no longer have access to Solaris to
test.

Re: Bugreport on Ubuntu LTS: not ok - 2 Objects creation does not break ACLs with restrictive umask

[Stefan Beller]

Hi,

I tried debugging into it:
In git/t/t1304-default-acl.sh there is:
check_perms_and_acl () {
   test -r "$1" &&
   getfacl "$1" > actual &&
   grep -q "user:root:rwx" actual &&
   grep -q "user:${LOGNAME}:rwx" actual &&
   egrep "mask::?r--" actual > /dev/null 2>&1 &&
   grep -q "group::---" actual || false
}

but when I do all the commands as in the test2:
test_expect_success SETFACL 'Objects creation does not break ACLs with
restrictive umask' '
   # SHA1 for empty blob
   check_perms_and_acl .git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
'
Now I run the second line in check_perms_and_acl ()  with
.git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
there is

getfacl .git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
# file: .git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
# owner: sb
# group: sb
user::r--
user:root:rwx                   #effective:---
user:sb:rwx                     #effective:---
group::---
mask::---
other::---

This command seem to fail 'egrep "mask::?r--" actual' as there is
mask::---
but expected is
mask::r--

That's my understanding of the test case so far.
