2012-04-02mount.cifs: don't allow unprivileged users to mount onto dirs to which theyJeff Layton1-1/+2
can't chdir If mount.cifs is installed as a setuid root program, then a user can use it to gather information about files and directories to which he does not have access. One of the first things that mount.cifs does is to chdir() into the mountpoint and then proceeds to perform the mount onto ".". A malicious user could exploit this fact to determine information about directories to which he does not have access. Specifically, whether the dentry in question is a file or directory and whether it exists at all. This patch fixes this by making the program switch the fsuid to the real uid for unprivileged users when mounting. Note that this is a behavior change. mount.cifs has in the past allowed users to mount onto any directory as long as it's listed in /etc/fstab as a user mount. With this change, the user must also be able to chdir into the mountpoint without needing special privileges. Hopefully not many people have such a pathological configuration. This patch should fix CVE-2012-1586. Reported-by: Jesus Olmos <jesus.olmos@blueliv.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@samba.org>
