Title

Wasmtime: WASI path_open(TRUNCATE) bypasses `FilePerms::WRITE` host restriction

Summary

Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. In versions prior to 24.0.9, 36.0.10, and 44.0.2, when a filesystem preopen is given DirPerms::all() and FilePerms::READ without FilePerms::WRITE, this access control mechanism can be bypassed via the wasip2 descriptor.open-at or wasip1 path_open interfaces by opening a file with only the OpenFlags::TRUNCATE oflag. The root cause is that the clause handling OpenFlags::TRUNCATE in crates/wasi/src/filesystem.rs (Dir::open_at, lines 967–969) did not set open_mode |= OpenMode::WRITE;, which is later used for the access control check against FilePerms to determine whether opening the file is permitted; the single-line fix adds that missing assignment, after which the affected calls correctly fail with error-code.not-permitted and ERRNO_PERM respectively. Only wasmtime-wasi embeddings that combine DirPerms::MUTATE with FilePerms::READ are affected by this bug. In particular, the Wasmtime project's wasmtime-cli's use of wasmtime-wasi is not affected, because it always sets FilePerms::all() for all preopens. This issue has been fixed in versions 24.0.9, 36.0.10 and44.0.2.

Summary

wasmtime-wasi: WASI path_open(TRUNCATE) bypasses `FilePerms::WRITE` host restriction

Details

Summary

In wasmtime-wasi, when a filesystem preopen is given DirPerms::all() and FilePerms::READ without FilePerms::WRITE, this wasmtime-wasi enforced access control mechanism can be bypassed by using the wasip2 descriptor.open-at or wasip1 path_open interfaces by opening a file with OpenFlags::TRUNCATE oflag only, for example:

dir_descriptor.open_at(
   PathFlags::empty(),
   FILENAME,
   OpenFlags::TRUNCATE,
   DescriptorFlags::READ,
)

wasip1::path_open(
    dir_fd,
    0,
    FILENAME,
    wasip1::OFLAGS_TRUNC,
    wasip1::RIGHTS_FD_READ,
    0,
    0
)

The root cause is that the clause that considered OpenFlags::TRUNCATE did not set open_mode |= OpenMode::WRITE;, used later in that function for the access control check against FilePerms for whether opening that file is permitted. With the bug corrected, these calls to open-at and path_open fail with error-code.not-permitted and ERRNO_PERM respectively.

The bug in crates/wasi/src/filesystem.rs, Dir::open_at, lines 967–969:

if oflags.contains(OpenFlags::TRUNCATE) {
    opts.truncate(true).write(true);
}

and the single line fix is:

if oflags.contains(OpenFlags::TRUNCATE) {
    opts.truncate(true).write(true);
    open_mode |= OpenMode::WRITE;
}

Only wasmtime-wasi embeddings that use a combination of DirPerms::MUTATE with FilePerms::READ are affected by this bug, e.g. those that use in the WasiCtxBuilder:

builder.preopened_dir("readonly", "readonly", DirPerms::READ | DirPerms::MUTATE, FilePerms::READ);

In particular, the Wasmtime project's wasmtime-cli's use of wasmtime-wasi is not affected, because it always sets FilePerms::all() for all preopens.

Severity

7.5 (High)
