/*++ /* NAME /* nbdb_reindexd 8 /* SUMMARY /* Postfix non-Berkeley-DB migration /* SYNOPSIS /* \fBnbdb_reindexd\fR [generic Postfix daemon options] /* DESCRIPTION /* \fINOTE: This service should be enabled only temporarily to /* generate most of the non-Berkeley-DB indexed files that Postfix /* needs. Leaving this service enabled may expose the system to /* privilege-escalation attacks.\fR /* /* The nbdb_reindexd(8) server handles requests to generate /* a non-Berkeley-DB indexed database file for an existing Berkeley /* DB database (example: "hash:/path/to/file" or /* "btree:/path/to/file"). It implements the service by running /* the postmap(1) or postalias(1) command with appropriate /* privileges. /* /* The service reports a success status when the non-Berkeley-DB /* indexed file already exists. This can happen when multiple clients /* make the same request. When one request is completed successfully, /* the service also reports success for the other requests. /* /* This service enforces the following safety policy: /* .IP \(bu /* The legacy Berkeley DB indexed file must exist (file name ends in /* ".db"). The nbdb_reindexd(8) service will use the owner"s (uid, /* gid) of this file, when it runs postmap(1) or postalias(1). It /* also uses the (uid,gid) for a number of safety checks as /* described next. /* .IP \(bu /* The non-indexed source file must exist (file name without /* ".db" suffix). This file is needed as input for postmap(1) /* or postalias(1). The file must be owned by "root" or by the /* above uid, and must not allow "group" or "other" write access. /* .IP \(bu /* The parent directory must be owned by "root" or by the above uid, /* and it must not allow "group" or "other" write access. /* .IP \(bu /* Additionally, the "non_bdb_migration_allow_root_prefixes" /* parameter limits the source file directory prefixes that are /* allowed when this service needs to run postmap(1) or postalias(1) /* with "root" privileges. /* .IP \(bu /* A similar parameter, "non_bdb_migration_allow_user_prefixes", /* limits the source file directory prefixes that are allowed when /* this service needs to run postmap(1) or postalias(1) as an /* unprivileged user. /* SECURITY /* .ad /* .fi /* The nbdb_reindexd(8) server is security sensitive. It accepts /* requests only from processes that can access sockets under /* $queue_directory/private (i.e., processes that run with "root" /* or "mail_owner" (usually, postfix) privileges). /* /* The threat is therefore a corrupted Postfix daemon process that /* wants to elevate privileges, by sending requests with crafted /* pathnames, and racing against the service by quickly swapping /* files or directories, hoping that Postfix will be tricked to /* overwrite a sensitive file with attacker-controlled data. /* /* When the service runs postmap(1) or postalias(1) as /* "root", such racing attacks should not be possible if /* non_bdb_migration_allow_root_prefixes specifies only prefixes /* that are already trusted. /* /* This service could block all requests with crafted pathnames, /* if given complete information about all lookup tables that are /* referenced through Postfix configuration files. Unfortunately /* that information was not available at the time that this program /* was needed. /* DIAGNOSTICS /* Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or /* postlogd(8). If an attempt to create an index file fails, this /* service will attempt to delete the incomplete file. /* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS /* .ad /* .fi /* Changes to main.cf are not picked up automatically, as /* nbdb_reindexd(8) processes are long-lived. Use the command /* "postfix reload" after a configuration change. /* /* The text below provides only a parameter summary.
