This change introduces new 'Mount' API argument - UNIX_FD for named pipe.
This named pipe is utilized to securely send secret data over D-Bus.
Currently data consists of null-terminated char buffers with username and
password.
Data on receiving side is encapsulated into classes whose role is to:
- keep secret as short-lived as possible
- erase secret from memory when it's not needed
- pass secrets (and format them) to another secure container with above
capabilities
New classes:
- Credentials: is a class encapsulating login and password. It zeroes them
at destruction.
- CredentialProvider: contains Credentials, specifies SecureBuffer, allows
to store credentials in SecureBuffer
- SecureBuffer: char vector which zeroes itself at destruction,
used to provision secret data
- VolatileFile: class creating temporary file with 'owner-only' permissions
in /tmp; at destruction overwrites it's contents with '*' and removes it
New behavior:
- when UNIX_FD is provided over D-Bus it's treated as open unix pipe. Data
is read from this pipe and stored securely into CredentialsProvider
- credentials are stored in applications inside CredentialsProvider object,
encapsulated by unique_ptr for as long as it's needed
- strings containing secrets are zeroed immediately after use
- VolatileFile is used to securely pass credentials to nbdkit curl plugin
instead of command line parameters.
Tested:
Manual and automated tests on WilsonCity platform:
- positive and negative tests for authentication on both CIFS and HTTPS
resources
- error injection (ill-formed data transfered over pipe, pipe broken etc.)
