From acb208221bfe3ac897d8eb4fbe18fa6c8aa9286e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amar Tumballi Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 07:21:41 +0530 Subject: io-stats: prevent taking file dump on server side By allowing clients taking dump in a file on brick process, we are allowing compromised clients to create io-stats dumps on server, which can exhaust all the available inodes. Fixes: CVE-2018-14659 Fixes: bz#1644757 Change-Id: I32bfde9d4fe646d819a45e627805b928cae2e1ca Signed-off-by: Amar Tumballi --- xlators/debug/io-stats/src/io-stats.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'xlators/debug/io-stats') diff --git a/xlators/debug/io-stats/src/io-stats.c b/xlators/debug/io-stats/src/io-stats.c index 3b370f20e50..06a16c8f3e6 100644 --- a/xlators/debug/io-stats/src/io-stats.c +++ b/xlators/debug/io-stats/src/io-stats.c @@ -2930,6 +2930,15 @@ conditional_dump(dict_t *dict, char *key, data_t *value, void *data) this = stub->this; conf = this->private; + /* Don't do this on 'brick-side', only do this on client side */ + /* Addresses CVE-2018-14659 */ + if (this->ctx->process_mode != GF_CLIENT_PROCESS) { + gf_log(this->name, GF_LOG_DEBUG, + "taking io-stats dump using setxattr not permitted on brick." + " Use 'gluster profile' instead"); + return -1; + } + /* Create a file name that is appended with the io-stats instance name as well.
