Package: krb5-kdc, krb5-keytab-backend
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Helmut Grohne <[email protected]>

Hi!

While analyzing the archive for mismatched file metadata (as part of
the preparation to add support into dpkg), thanks to Helmut gathering
the data from the archive. I noticed that these two packages have a
mismatch in the permissions for the /etc/krb5kdc/ directory, where
there could be security implications, if the contents are expected to
contain secrets that only root is supposed to read, as the permissions
of the directory are decided by the first package being unpacked, and
subsequent directory unpacks get ignored (including any change in
permissions).

  $ dpkg-deb -c krb5-kdc_1.21.3-3_amd64.deb | grep etc/krb5kdc
  drwx------ root/root         0 2024-07-05 19:25 ./etc/krb5kdc/
  $ dpkg-deb -c krb5-keytab-backend_1.5-1.1_all.deb | grep etc/krb5kdc
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2024-08-02 01:29 ./etc/krb5kdc/
  -rw-r--r-- root/root       287 2024-06-20 19:20 ./etc/krb5kdc/allow-extract

I'm not sure which one is correct. Assigned to both for awareness and
coordination purposes, feel free to reassign to whichever might need
to adapt the permissions. If this has security implications then it
might be worth to set the security tag, and rise the severity and
perhaps prepare a change for a stable update too? If there are no
security implications, it would still be good to make the permissions
consistent, otherwise dpkg would start warning or erroring out on
mismatched metadata once the support gets in and is enabled.

Thanks,
Guillem
