Subject: Kerberos+NFSv4: Security - Multiple sessions with same user. One ticket for all?
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:46:37 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f6ce31e30908260446g534bb70bxd742e35141ae99c1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I got a strange security issue. I logon via SSH or local console with
my user and get a ticket, then if local root su to my user, local root
can access my files.

I'm using CentOS 5.3:
kernel-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5
krb5-workstation-1.6.1-31.el5_3.3


SESSION 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

[carlos.andre@KSTATION root]$ klist
klist: No credentials cache found (ticket cache FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_10000)

NOW BACK TO SESSION 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[carlos.andre@KSTATION root]$ cd /misc/home/carlos.andre
[carlos.andre@KSTATION carlos.andre]$ ls -la

drwxrwx--- 2 carlos.andre users 4096 Aug 21 09:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root         root               0 Aug 26 08:30 ..
[carlos.andre@KSTATION carlos.andre]$ klist
klist: No credentials cache found (ticket cache FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_10000)


Kerberos 4 ticket cache: /tmp/tkt10000
klist: You have no tickets cached
[carlos.andre@KSTATION carlos.andre]$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[WTF!?!?]

Then, if I log on someone machine, local root user (and 'su' to my
user) will have access to my files like NFS without Kerberos?? This
behavior is "correct" or it's a bug?
And more strange it's credentials, root 'su'ed to my user doesnt got
credentials, but still have access to my files...

Or I'm doing something wrong? -_-'

Thanks.
