org.freedesktop.thermald.conf default dbus policy should be more restrictive |
org.freedesktop.thermald.conf default dbus policy should be more restrictive
===
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
With the current dbus policy one can terminate thermald using:
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.thermald /org/freedesktop/thermald org.freedesktop.thermald.Terminate
thermald can be send dbus
..fortunately init respawns thermald, but the policy is not restrictive enough, only root should be able to do this.
Justification:
This fix restricts the default policy so only root can send dbus messages to thermald.
[Test Case]
How to reproduce:
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.thermald /org/freedesktop/thermald org.freedesktop.thermald.Terminate
thermald can be send dbus
then use: dmesg and see that init has respawned thermald (which means it received the dbus message and handled it)
With the fix, the dbus-send message won't kill thermald and hence one won't see the re-spawn message in dmesg.
[Regression Potential]
Cannot think of any, low to none. Thermald is not a default install, it is a new packaging in Trusty and is currently op-in, so this change has minimal impact. Regression potential is that users won't be able to communicate to thermald via dbus-send, which is not the recommended way to shut down thermald anyhow.
Tested today on an AMD64 trusty install. |
