This is done by * utilizing POSIX saved user and group IDs. Call RELINQUISH_PRIVS once * at the beginning of the main program. This will cause all operations * to be executed with the real userid. When you need the privileges * of the setuid/setgid invocation, call PRIV_START; when you no longer * need it, call PRIV_END. Note that it is an error to call PRIV_START * and not PRIV_END within the same function. * * Use RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a,b) if your program started out running * as root, and you want to drop back the effective userid to a * and the effective group id to b, with the option to get them back * later. * * If you no longer need root privileges, but those of some other * userid/groupid, you can call REDUCE_PRIV(a,b) when your effective * is the user's. * * Problems: Do not use return between PRIV_START and PRIV_END; this * will cause the program to continue running in an unprivileged * state. * * It is NOT safe to call exec(), system() or popen() with a user- * supplied program (i.e. without carefully checking PATH and any * library load paths) with relinquished privileges; the called program * can acquire them just as easily. Set both effective and real userid * to the real userid before calling any of them. */ extern uid_t real_uid, effective_uid; extern gid_t real_gid, effective_gid; #ifdef MAIN uid_t real_uid, effective_uid; gid_t real_gid, effective_gid; #endif #define RELINQUISH_PRIVS { \ real_uid = getuid(); \ effective_uid = geteuid(); \ real_gid = getgid(); \ effective_gid = getegid(); \ if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ } #define RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a, b) { \ real_uid = (a); \ effective_uid = geteuid(); \ real_gid = (b); \ effective_gid = getegid(); \ if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ } #define PRIV_START { \ if (seteuid(effective_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ if (setegid(effective_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ } #define PRIV_END { \ if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ } #define REDUCE_PRIV(a, b) { \ PRIV_START \ effective_uid = (a); \ effective_gid = (b); \ if (setregid((gid_t)-1, effective_gid) != 0) err(1, "setregid failed"); \ if (setreuid((uid_t)-1, effective_uid) != 0) err(1, "setreuid failed"); \ PRIV_END \ } #endif
