package openat import ( "golang.org/x/sys/unix" ) // OpenSymlinkAware is a symlink-aware syscall.Open replacement. // // What it does: // // 1. Open baseDir (usually an absolute path), following symlinks. // // The user may have set up the directory tree with symlinks, // that's not neccessarily malicous, but a normal use case. // // 2. Open path (must be a relative path) within baseDir, rejecting symlinks with ELOOP. // // On Linux, it calls openat2(2) with RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS. This prevents following // symlinks in any component of the path. // // On other platforms, it calls openat(2) with O_NOFOLLOW. // TODO: This is insecure as O_NOFOLLOW only affects the final path component. func OpenSymlinkAware(baseDir string, path string, flags int, mode uint32) (fd int, err error) { // Passing an absolute path is a bug in the caller if len(path) > 0 && path[0] == '/' { return -1, unix.EINVAL } baseFd, err := unix.Open(baseDir, unix.O_RDONLY|unix.O_DIRECTORY|unix.O_CLOEXEC, 0) if err != nil { return -1, err } defer unix.Close(baseFd) return openatNoSymlinks(baseFd, path, flags, mode) }
