/* Template for a setuid program that calls a script. The script should be in an unwritable directory and should itself be unwritable. In fact all parent directories up to the root should be unwritable. The script must not be setuid, that's what this program is for. This is a template program. You need to fill in the name of the script that must be executed. This is done by changing the definition of FULL_PATH below. There are also some rules that should be adhered to when writing the script itself. The first and most important rule is to never, ever trust that the user of the program will behave properly. Program defensively. Check your arguments for reasonableness. If the user is allowed to create files, check the names of the files. If the program depends on argv[0] for the action it should perform, check it. Assuming the script is a Bourne shell script, the first line of the script should be #!/bin/sh - The - is important, don't omit it. If you're using esh, the first line should be #!/usr/local/bin/esh -f and for ksh, the first line should be #!/usr/local/bin/ksh -p The script should then set the variable IFS to the string consisting of , , and . After this (*not* before!), the PATH variable should be set to a reasonable value and exported. Do not expect the PATH to have a reasonable value, so do not trust the old value of PATH. You should then set the umask of the program by calling umask 077 # or 022 if you want the files to be readable If you plan to change directories, you should either unset CDPATH or set it to a good value. Setting CDPATH to just ``.'' (dot) is a good idea. If, for some reason, you want to use csh, the first line should be #!/bin/csh -fb You should then set the path variable to something reasonable, without trusting the inherited path. Here too, you should set the umask using the command umask 077 # or 022 if you want the files to be readable */ #include #include #include #include #include #include /* CONFIGURATION SECTION */ #ifndef FULL_PATH /* so that this can be specified from the Makefile */ /* Uncomment the following line: #define FULL_PATH "/full/path/of/script" * Then comment out the #error line. */ #error "You must define FULL_PATH somewhere" #endif #ifndef UMASK #define UMASK 077 #endif /* END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION */ #if defined(__STDC__) && defined(__sgi) #define environ _environ #endif /* don't change def_IFS */ char def_IFS[] = "IFS= \t\n"; /* you may want to change def_PATH, but you should really change it in */ /* your script */ #ifdef __sgi char def_PATH[] = "PATH=/usr/bsd:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin"; #else char def_PATH[] = "PATH=/usr/ucb:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin"; #endif /* don't change def_CDPATH */ char def_CDPATH[] = "CDPATH=."; /* don't change def_ENV */ char def_ENV[] = "ENV=:"; /* This function changes all environment variables that start with LD_ into variables that start with XD_.
