[PATCH] fs/ceph/mds_client: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAX

[PATCH] fs/ceph/mds_client: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAX

[Max Kellermann]

If the full path to be built by ceph_mdsc_build_path() happens to be
longer than PATH_MAX, then this function will enter an endless (retry)
loop, effectively blocking the whole task.  Most of the machine
becomes unusable, making this a very simple and effective DoS
vulnerability.

I cannot imagine why this retry was ever implemented, but it seems
rather useless and harmful to me.  Let's remove it and fail with
ENAMETOOLONG instead.

Hi Max,

When this was put in place in 2009, I think the idea of a retry was
copied from CIFS.  Jeff preserved the retry when he massaged this code
to not warn in case a rename race is detected [1].  CIFS got rid of it
only a couple of years ago [2][3].

Adding Patrick and Venky as well, please chime in.

I think the idea was that if we ended up with a path longer than
PATH_MAX that something must have changed in the middle of the reverse
pathwalk to make it too long a path, and we should just go and try it
again. At the very least, this code should cap the retries to a certain
number if you don't just return an error here.

-ENAMETOOLONG could be problematic there. This function is often called
when we have a dentry and need to build a path to it to send to the MDS
in a call. The system call that caused us to generate this path
probably doesn't involve a pathname itself, so the caller may be
confused by an -ENAMETOOLONG return.

You may want to go with a more generic error code here -- -EIO or
something. It might also be worthwhile to leave in a pr_warn_once or
something since there may be users confused by this error return.

It is unfortunate that the Ceph-MDS protocol requires having to
convert a file descriptor back to a path name - but do you really
believe EIO would cause less confusion? ENAMETOOLONG is exactly what
happens, even if it's an internal error. But there are many error
codes that describe internal errors, so there's some prior art.

EIO just doesn't fit, returning EIO would be confusing - even more so
because EIO isn't a documented error code for open().

If this is about building path names for sending to the MDS, and not
for the userspace ABI, maybe the PATH_MAX limitation is wrong here. If
Ceph doesn't have such a limitation, the Ceph code shouldn't use the
userspace ABI limit for protocol use.

Users cannot read the kernel log, and this allows users to flood the
kernel log. So we get all the disadvantages of the kernel log while
our users get none of the advantages.

Fair enough. EIO is just my goto when I don't have a better idea.

Probably you want some weird error code that will make people stand up
and take notice. Maybe?

     #define ENOSR           63      /* Out of streams resources */

It is possible to build a dir hierarchy that is deeper than can be
represented by a PATH_MAX-length string. No reason you can't allocate a
bigger buffer there. Does the MDS have a limit on the size of a path
string that it'll accept?

Sure. I'd make this a pr_warn_once or heavily ratelimit it or
something. No need for a lot of these messages, but eventually users
are going to wonder why they're getting these weird errors and bug the
admins. Giving them this hint might be helpful.

Alternately you could add a conditional tracepoint or something, but
those are more obscure.

The protocol does **not** require building the full path for most
operations unless it involves a snapshot. For snapshots we have to
climb the directory tree until we find the directory with the
snapshot. e.g.:

$ tree -a foo/ foo/.snap/ foo/bar/baz/.snap/
foo/
└── bar
    └── baz
        └── file
foo/.snap/
└── 1
    └── bar
        └── baz
            └── file
foo/bar/baz/.snap/
├── _1_1099511627779
│   └── file
└── 2
    └── file


If you read "file" via foo/.snap/1 you get:

(Note: the MDS protocol indicates a snapshot in the relative file path
via double forward slash.)

If you create "file":

2024-11-19T13:56:56.895+0000 7f9b34f8e640  7 mds.0.server

2024-11-19T13:56:56.890430+0000 caller_uid=1141,
caller_gid=1141{1000,1141,})

(During path lookups when planning to read the file, the client will
usually get read caps so it doesn't need to formally open the file. So
this last example uses a create.)

We don't use Ceph snapshots, but before today's emergency update, we
could shoot down an arbitrary server with a single (unprivileged)
system call using this vulnerability.

I'm not sure what your point is, but this vulnerability exists, it
works without snapshots and we think it's serious.

I'm not suggesting there isn't a bug. I'm correcting a misunderstanding.

Re: [PATCH] fs/ceph/mds_client: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAX

[Alex Markuze]

IMHO, we should first have a solution for the immediate problem,
remove infinite retries and fail early, and cap it at 3 retries in
case there is a temporary issue here.
I would use ENAMETOOLONG as the primary error code, as it is the most
informative, and couple it with a rate-limited kernel log
(pr_warn_once) for debugging without flooding.
I would also open a bug/feature request for a dynamic buffer
allocation that bypasses PATH_MAX for protocol-specific paths.

Hey, Folks.
This seems important, so I'm bumping this thread. Max has a valid
concern, and this issue must be addressed.
Jeff seems to think keeping at least a few retries might be a good idea.

Max, could you add a cap on the retry count to your original patch? I
will discuss the PATH_MAX with Patrick and open a feature request for
myself to alleviate the limitation.

Before I wrote code that's not useful at all: I don't quite get why
retry on buffer overflow is necessary at all. It looks like it once
seemed to be a useful kludge, but then 1b71fe2efa31 ("ceph analog of
cifs build_path_from_dentry() race fix") added the read_seqretry()
check which, to my limited understanding, is a more robust
implementation of rename detection.

You and Illia agree on this point. I'll wait for replies and take your
original patch into the testing branch unless any concerns are raised.

How long will you wait? It's been more than two weeks since I reported
this DoS vulnerability.

It's already in a testing branch; what branch are you working on?

It is? Which one? I checked
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client/commits/testing/ and it's not
there. This is the repository mentioned on
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/developer_guide/testing_integration_tests/tests-integration-testing-teuthology-kernel/

I found this on branch "wip-shirnk-crash":
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client/commit/6cdec9f931e38980eb007d9704c5a24535fb5ec5
- did you mean this branch?

This is my patch; but you removed the commit message, removed the
explanation I wrote from the code comment, left the (useless and
confusing) log message in, and then claimed authorship for my work.

Max's original patch has been applied (with the authorship, commit
message, etc preserved).

Thanks,
