allow_url_fopen / allow_url_include and fine grained control

allow_url_include has been bashed lately for being "not good enough",
and there is a kernel of truth to that, though where the ultimate blame
falls if of course a touchy subject.

So rather than continue the fight over who's shoulders the job of
security should fall on, how about the attached patch which puts a
little more power in the hands of the user/site-admin to control what
can be treated as a url include, and how it can be treated that way.

The short version of the attached patch is this:

allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include continue to accept boolean flags
in order to behave just as they do now: true/on allows anything,
false/off allows only those wrappers without the is_url bit set.

In addition, they can be set to a colon delimited list of wrapper names
(e.g. allow_url_include=file:compress.bz2:compress.zlib ) When used
in this manner, the value of a wrapper's is_url flag is meaningless,
only the name is considered. If it's in this list, it's allowed,
otherwise not.

I've also applied the same concept as was recently added to
open_basedir, that is; These settings can be tightened during
runtime/perdir context (but not loosened). For example, if the
system-wide setting for allow_url_fopen is on, and a given script wants
to restrict itself to just local files, they can:
ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "file");

Comments welcome, flames not.

-Sara

Note: I changed the internal names for these settings in order to force
3rd party extensions to review their code if they rely on inspecting
those values.

Hi Sara

+1 from me, a very nice solution to the problem IMO

allow_url_include has been bashed lately for being "not good
enough", and there is a kernel of truth to that, though where the
ultimate blame falls if of course a touchy subject.

Not really, I mean is it so difficult to expect the extension writer
to know that if they are working with remote streams that they should
set is_url to 1 rather then 0.

So rather than continue the fight over who's shoulders the job of
security should fall on, how about the attached patch which puts a
little more power in the hands of the user/site-admin to control
what can be treated as a url include, and how it can be treated
that way.

I do not think that this is a good idea. Controlling security
settings via INI is just a recipe for disaster and will only lead to
problem due to poor configuration choices. Basically you are moving
the "blame" from extension writers that provide stream wrappers
(fairly limited group) onto a far larger group of users.

what what it's worth, my opinion (as a member of the 'larger group of users'):

as an end user I'd rather have the control myself and be the one to blame,
than be at the 'mercy' of extension writers - where I have little to no idea
if an extension behaves or not (and if not if/when it might be corrected).

I see no reason to think that hosting providers & or packages would
think any differently ... unless their lazy and enjoy passing the buck all
the time.

this does presume that good documentation and best-practice recommendations
are available.

Hello Ilia,

Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 3:09:15 PM, you wrote:

Well these are two different things. One is a naming issue, where the
name of a structure member is more than misleading. On the other hand
we have the INI setting which currently only allows to chose between
all and nothing. That means, if you need to enable one of the external
url handlers then you are forced to allow them all and by that lowering
your security settings.

Sara's patch now gives a much better control. Regardless of whether
extension writers read the docu or not. However we might wantto rename
the structure member.

Best regards,
Marcus

Sara,

I assume this would also mean all userland stream wrappers become
is_url=1?

Anyway, +1.

So rather than continue the fight over who's shoulders the job of
security should fall on, how about the attached patch which puts a
little more power in the hands of the user/site-admin to control
what can be treated as a url include, and how it can be treated
that way.

The short version of the attached patch is this:

allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include continue to accept boolean
flags in order to behave just as they do now: true/on allows
anything, false/off allows only those wrappers without the is_url
bit set.

In addition, they can be set to a colon delimited list of wrapper
names (e.g. allow_url_include=file:compress.bz2:compress.zlib )
When used in this manner, the value of a wrapper's is_url flag is
meaningless, only the name is considered. If it's in this list,
it's allowed, otherwise not.

I've also applied the same concept as was recently added to
open_basedir, that is; These settings can be tightened during
runtime/perdir context (but not loosened). For example, if the
system-wide setting for allow_url_fopen is on, and a given script
wants to restrict itself to just local files, they can: ini_set
("allow_url_fopen", "file");

Comments welcome, flames not.

-Sara

Note: I changed the internal names for these settings in order to
force 3rd party extensions to review their code if they rely on
inspecting those values.

I assume this would also mean all userland stream wrappers become is_url=1?

Anyway, +1.

This patch, by itself, doesn't affect the is_urlness of userspace
wrappers. Whether or not we change their designation is up to a
separate concensus (I'm in favor of it for the record).

Funnily enough though, Pierre and I were just discussing the problem of
userspace wrappers. Specifying all potential userspace wrapper names in
a whitelist style allow_url_fopen setting isn't realistic, so we thought
it might be a good idea to add a sort of "meta-wrapper" name to be used
in the whitelist style. e.g. allow_url_fopen=file,http,ftp,user
would allow those first three wrappers explicitly by name, plus any
userdefined wrapper (regardless of specific name). For completeness, we
might also add a metawrapper called "internal" for "All non-userspace
based wrappers", though the specific usefulness of that is a little more
iffy...

Sort of thinking out loud and not really sure if this is possible, but
if a wrapper is NOT present (specifically denied) in allow_url_fopen,
but "user" is present, could a user defined wrapper emulate the
missing one, thereby bypassing the restriction?

allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include continue to accept boolean flags
in order to behave just as they do now: true/on allows anything,
false/off allows only those wrappers without the is_url bit set.

+1, fwiw.

As far as the "user" being able to implement something otherwise
dis-allowed...

Well, yeah, they could.

I'm not sure who would really turn off an internal wrapper, then turn
on "user" then be upset that somebody coded a work-around for a
blocked internal wrapper... I mean, that just seems like an unlikely
real-world sequence of events, in any decent work-place...

I suppose if it's the case of malicious code getting executed, there'd
be a point, but really, once you have arbitrary malicious PHP code
getting executed on your box, it's kind of moot if they can then
download more PHP code to execute, isn't it?...

My understanding is that this coudn't happen because a userspace
stream would be flagged is_url. So unless someone turns off, say
"ftp", and then adds "ftp" to the whitelist, there is no problem. And
if anyone does that, he/she should seriously consider looking for a
job where he/she can't mess things up that badly :P
