For something like 'mkdir -m 0700 foo', if the caller happens to have a permissive umask (say allowing group write via 0007 or 0002), the created directory will temporarily have more permissions than requested. That's a mild security issue.
This reworks bb_make_directory() to always create both intermediate and the final component with 0 permissions, then chmods to the final value. Aside from the robustification, this also simplifies the code somewhat (net -31LOC), since we get rid of the complicated "what umask do we have now and be sure to set it back" - we only need to query the current umask in case mode==-1, and can set it back immediately. Then mode contains the mode of the final component, and intermediate components should then be chmod'ed to pmode=mode|0300. x86_64 defconfig: function old new delta bb_make_directory 452 396 -56 Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <rasmus.villem...@prevas.dk> --- Lightly tested and strace'd to see that it behaves as expected. libbb/make_directory.c | 83 +++++++++++++----------------------------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) diff --git a/libbb/make_directory.c b/libbb/make_directory.c index 9b03bb8d0..9d95c2383 100644 --- a/libbb/make_directory.c +++ b/libbb/make_directory.c @@ -26,9 +26,8 @@ int FAST_FUNC bb_make_directory(char *path, long mode, int flags) { - mode_t cur_mask; - mode_t org_mask; const char *fail_msg; + mode_t pmode; char *s; char c; struct stat st; @@ -48,7 +47,13 @@ int FAST_FUNC bb_make_directory(char *path, long mode, int flags) // return 0; /* ".." */ } - org_mask = cur_mask = (mode_t)-1L; + if (mode == -1) { + mode_t org_mask = umask(0); + mode = 0777 & ~org_mask; + umask(org_mask); + } + pmode = mode | 0300; + s = path; while (1) { c = '\0'; @@ -68,32 +73,8 @@ int FAST_FUNC bb_make_directory(char *path, long mode, int flags) } } - if (c != '\0') { - /* Intermediate dirs: must have wx for user */ - if (cur_mask == (mode_t)-1L) { /* wasn't done yet? */ - mode_t new_mask; - org_mask = umask(0); - cur_mask = 0; - /* Clear u=wx in umask - this ensures - * they won't be cleared on mkdir */ - new_mask = (org_mask & ~(mode_t)0300); - //bb_error_msg("org_mask:%o cur_mask:%o", org_mask, new_mask); - if (new_mask != cur_mask) { - cur_mask = new_mask; - umask(new_mask); - } - } - } else { - /* Last component: uses original umask */ - //bb_error_msg("1 org_mask:%o", org_mask); - if (org_mask != cur_mask) { - cur_mask = org_mask; - umask(org_mask); - } - } - //bb_error_msg("mkdir '%s'", path); - if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) { + if (mkdir(path, 0000) < 0) { /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1 */ if ((errno != EEXIST && errno != EISDIR) @@ -103,36 +84,31 @@ int FAST_FUNC bb_make_directory(char *path, long mode, int flags) fail_msg = "create"; break; } - /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change - * permissions if it was the full target.
