Subject: [PATCH staging] p9auth: a few fixes
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:27:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090916212741.GA19295@us.ibm.com> (raw)
1. The memory into which we copy 'u1@u2' needs space for u1, @,
u2, and a final \0 which strcat copies in.
2. Strsep changes the value of its first argument. So use a
temporary variable to pass to it, so we pass the original
value to kfree!
3. Allocate an extra char to user_buf, because we need a trailing \0
since we later kstrdup it.
I am about to send out an LTP testcase for this driver, but
in addition the correctness of the hashing can be verified as
follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char in[41], out[20];
unsigned int v;
int i, ret;
ret = read(STDIN_FILENO, in, 40);
if (ret != 40)
exit(1);
in[40] = '\0';
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
sscanf(&in[2*i], "%02x", &v);
out[i] = v;
}
write(STDOUT_FILENO, out, 20);
}
as root, to test userid 501 switching to uid 0, choosing
'random' string 'ab':
echo -n "501@0" > plain
openssl sha1 -hmac 'ab' plain |awk '{ print $2 '} > dgst
./unhex < dgst > dgst.u
mknod /dev/caphash 504 0
mknod /dev/capuse 504 1
chmod ugo+w /dev/capuse
cat dgst.u > /dev/caphash
as uid 501,
echo "501@0@ab" > /dev/capuse
id -u # should now show 0.
