FROM THE CURRENT DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION =========== When 'mysqlaccess' tool is run, it reads (and executes) the content of its configuration file 'mysqlaccess.conf' from the current directory. This is not a recommended behaviour as someone with ill intentions can insert malicious instructions into this file which could be executed whenever this tool is run. ANALYSIS ======== The configuration file is presently looked for, in the following folders (in given order): 1. Current directory 2. SYSCONFDIR //This gets expanded 3. /etc/ Owing to the reasons mentioned above, we should not permit the file to be in the current directory. Since the other two folders are assumed to be accessible only to authorized people, the config file is safe to be read from there. FIX === Modified the script so that it looks for the config file now in the following two folders (in the given order): 1. SYSCONFDIR 2. /etc/ If it's absent from above locations but present in current directory, an error is thrown asking the user to move the file to one of the above locations and retry. NOTE ==== The location paths and their precedence are not documented for this tool. It needs to be noted as part of the associated documentation. |
