posix_setuid

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

posix_setuid — Setzt die Benutzer-ID des aktuellen Prozesses

Beschreibung

bool posix_setuid ( int $uid )

Setzt die reale Benutzer-ID uid des aktuellen Prozesses. Es handelt sich um eine privilegierte Funktion, die entsprechende Berechtigungen (normalerweise root) auf dem System benötigt, damit sie ausgeführt werden kann.

Parameter-Liste

uid

Die Benutzer-ID

Rückgabewerte

Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück. Im Fehlerfall wird FALSE zurückgegeben.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 posix_setuid()-Beispiel

Dieses Beispiel gibt die aktuelle Benutzer-ID aus und setzt sie dann auf einen anderen Wert.

<?php
echo posix_getuid()."\n"; //10001
echo posix_geteuid()."\n"; //10001
posix_setuid(10000);
echo posix_getuid()."\n"; //10000
echo posix_geteuid()."\n"; //10000
?>

In response to a note above that advocated the user of system() in a setuid program written in C, this is generally a bad idea for security. 

You should use the standard library calls like execl() instead because system() can be manipulated to execute the wrong thing using the SHELL, IFS and possibly other variables.

On many UNIX systems (tested on Debian GNU/Linux), SUID is disabled for scripts and works only for binaries. If you need to setuid, you must use a wrapper binary that runs setuid() php script. Here's an example:

$ nano suexec.cpp
#include <stdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
system("php /home/php/php_user.php");
return 0;
}

$ g++ -o suexec suexec.cpp
$ sudo chown root:root suexec
$ sudo chmod 4755 root

Then we create short PHP script to set process uid (you should already know how to do this). Don't even try to experiment with auto_prepend_file in php.ini, it doesn't work as expected.

It seems like this function returns true if you try to change uid to the already active user - even if you aren't root.

Should save you one if-statement in some cases.

For simple operations, you can easily create a privilege-separation mechanism to perform commands that require elevated privileges.

For example, in creating a document repository, I had the need to provide access to certain directory and file operations based on a user's login name.  It's unrealistic and unsecure to provide the web server access to all of the directories that the user may need to access, so I created a setuid() script to perform the required operations for me.

An exerpt from the code demonstrates this:

<?

//
// main.php
//

// Perform a privileged stat()
function privsep_stat($path)
{
        // Call the privilege separation program, ask for a stat of the specified path
        $serialized_result = exec("/path/to/privsep.php stat " . $path, $oa, $return_code);
        if ($return_code != 0)
        {
                return false;
        }

        // Return the unserialized object
        return unserialize($serialized_result);
}

// Get file statistics on a file we don't have access to as the web server user
$st = privsep_stat("/private_directory/private_file");
print_r($st);

?>

privsep.php looks like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?

//
// privsep.php
//

// Don't allow this script to be run from the web
if (isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']))
{
    print "<br>This program is not intended to be run directly from the WWW.\n";
    return 1;
}

// TODO: add your argument validation here

// A stat was requested
if ($argv[1] == "stat")
{
    // Reset the stat() cache
    clearstatcache();

    // Original user ID
    $original_uid = posix_get_uid();

    // Set our real user ID to root
    $success = posix_setuid(0);
    if (!$success)
    {
        print "Error: Cannot setuid().\n";
        return 1;
    }

    // Store the file statistics
    $st = stat($argv[2]);

    // Drop the real UID back to the calling user ID
    $success = posix_setuid($original_uid);
    if (!$success)
    {
        print "Error: Cannot setuid().\n";
        return 1;
    }

    // Drop the effective UID as well
    $success = posix_seteuid($original_uid);
    if (!$success)
    {
        print "Error: Cannot seteuid().\n";
        return 1;
    }

    // Serialize the result and print it
    $result = serialize($st);
    print $result;

    // Success!
    return 0;
}
?>

Finally, privsep.php's permissions are configured like this:

# chown root:wheel privsep.php
# chmod 4755 privsep.php

And look like this:

-rwsr-xr-x  1 root      wheel     1000 Nov  1 00:00 privsep.php

It's probably wise to keep privsep.php out of your document root to help mitigate any successful attack.

This method can be extended for other functions.  Use at your own risk.

Here's some Perl code to run a PHP script setuid. Just put it into a CGI, make that CGI setuid and executable, then call the CGI where you would usually call the PHP script.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# Perl wrapper to execute a PHP script setuid
# ©2002 Simon Kornblith
# Requires PHP CGI

# Make UID = EUID (so that PHP can run system()s and execs() setuid)
$< = $>;
# Set this to the path, so that we can't get poisoned
$ENV{'PATH'} = "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/ssl/admin";     
# Open the PHP script (must start with !#/usr/local/bin/php or similar and
# be executable
open(STDOUT, "| /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ssl/admin/new.php");
# Write STDIN to PHP script
print while <STDIN>;
