match. This can mean one of three things:

  1. Both entries are named user entries, and their UIDs match.

  2. Both entries are named group entries, and their GIDs match.

  3. Both entries are neither named user or group entries, and

     don't have any qualifiers that should match in the first
     place, so we want to update the entry regardless.

parameter, and implements the recursion on its own. This lets us pass
down the old child file descriptor as the new parent file descriptor,
and avoid calling safe_open() more than once when we're operating
recursively. The result is a big speed improvement with --recursive,
tested for example on the Linux kernel source tree.

The hand-written recursion also allows us to fix a lingering exit code
bug. Now --recursive acts as if all of the targets were passed (in the
right order) on the command-line.

The new parameter affects the public API, so in the next release the
library will get a new version. The upside to this is that now it's
easy for other programs to operate recursively, simply by passing
"true" as the third parameter to apply_default_acl().

Eliminate the apply_default_acl_ex() function.

The apply_default_acl_ex() function was an "extended" version of the
apply_default_acl() function that, in addition, took a stat structure
pointer to the target path. The extended function was used by nftw(),
which usually has such a stat structure handy. However, the provenance
of that stat structure is not clear: does nftw() obtain it in a safe
way?

Since I don't know the answer to that question, I would rather stat()
the descriptor that I know was obtained safely. Thus there's no reason
to take the pointer as an argument, and then no reason to keep the
extended function around at all.

Michael Orlitzky [Wed, 28 Feb 2018 22:33:17 +0000 (17:33 -0500)]
Eliminate the last bit of pathname usage.

A lot of work has been done recently to make apply-default-acl safe
from symlink and hardlink attacks. A big part of that work was the
recent switch to using file descriptors instead of pathnames; but,
pathnames still lingered in a few places due to a shortcoming in
libacl. Through the use of a new function, acl_copy_xattr(), I've
finally eliminated those last few bits.

The apply_default_acl_ex() function now uses path names only as
arguments to safe_open(), which hopefully is safe. Afterwards, the
file descriptors obtained from safe_open() are used. Thus the hard and
symlink attacks should finally be fixed, modulo a tiny race condition
between safe_open() and fstat() that has no known solution.

These changes rely on the Linux xattr implementation and kill our
portability, but I don't think we ever had any to begin with.
