This is done by 35 * utilizing POSIX saved user and group IDs. Call RELINQUISH_PRIVS once 36 * at the beginning of the main program. This will cause all operations 37 * to be executed with the real userid. When you need the privileges 38 * of the setuid/setgid invocation, call PRIV_START; when you no longer 39 * need it, call PRIV_END. Note that it is an error to call PRIV_START 40 * and not PRIV_END within the same function. 41 * 42 * Use RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a,b) if your program started out running 43 * as root, and you want to drop back the effective userid to a 44 * and the effective group id to b, with the option to get them back 45 * later. 46 * 47 * If you no longer need root privileges, but those of some other 48 * userid/groupid, you can call REDUCE_PRIV(a,b) when your effective 49 * is the user's. 50 * 51 * Problems: Do not use return between PRIV_START and PRIV_END; this 52 * will cause the program to continue running in an unprivileged 53 * state. 54 * 55 * It is NOT safe to call exec(), system() or popen() with a user- 56 * supplied program (i.e. without carefully checking PATH and any 57 * library load paths) with relinquished privileges; the called program 58 * can acquire them just as easily. Set both effective and real userid 59 * to the real userid before calling any of them. 60 */ 61 62 extern uid_t real_uid, effective_uid; 63 extern gid_t real_gid, effective_gid; 64 65 #ifdef MAIN 66 uid_t real_uid, effective_uid; 67 gid_t real_gid, effective_gid; 68 #endif 69 70 #define RELINQUISH_PRIVS { \ 71 real_uid = getuid(); \ 72 effective_uid = geteuid(); \ 73 real_gid = getgid(); \ 74 effective_gid = getegid(); \ 75 if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ 76 if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ 77 } 78 79 #define RELINQUISH_PRIVS_ROOT(a, b) { \ 80 real_uid = (a); \ 81 effective_uid = geteuid(); \ 82 real_gid = (b); \ 83 effective_gid = getegid(); \ 84 if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ 85 if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ 86 } 87 88 #define PRIV_START { \ 89 if (seteuid(effective_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ 90 if (setegid(effective_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ 91 } 92 93 #define PRIV_END { \ 94 if (setegid(real_gid) != 0) err(1, "setegid failed"); \ 95 if (seteuid(real_uid) != 0) err(1, "seteuid failed"); \ 96 } 97 98 #define REDUCE_PRIV(a, b) { \ 99 PRIV_START \ 100 effective_uid = (a); \ 101 effective_gid = (b); \ 102 if (setregid((gid_t)-1, effective_gid) != 0) err(1, "setregid failed"); \ 103 if (setreuid((uid_t)-1, effective_uid) != 0) err(1, "setreuid failed"); \ 104 PRIV_END \ 105 } 106 #endif 107
