[dm-devel] [PATCH 5/5] multipath-tools: Perform socket client uid check on IPC commands.

Fri Jan 20 13:39:02 UTC 2017


Problem:
    A non-root user could send and execute 'shutdown' IPC command to
    multipathd.

Fix:
    Use getsockopt() to find out socket client uid, only query (list or
    show) command are allowed for non-root(uid != 0) socket connection.
    An error message "permission deny: need to be root" will be sent
    otherwise.
