- file: open -K dirlink referents via a race-safe relative O_NOFOLLOW walk
from the authorized-root fd instead of re-opening an absolute realpath()
result (removes the intermediate-symlink swap TOCTOU).
- transport_ssh: always single-quote the server path, including --old-args,
so no mode can inject shell metacharacters.
- transport_tls: set SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION and (guarded) SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION.
- credentials: reject --password-file/--early-input with any group/other
permission bit; chmod 0600 the affected test fixtures.
- file_store: export file_store_write_sparse() and remove the verbatim
file.c duplicate.
- file_ensure_directory_secure() now chowns a final directory it creates under
--copy-as and fails on error; the symlink parent-creation call site propagates
it. The is_dir branch fails when the confined parent cannot be opened under
--copy-as. Closes the residual wrong-owner gap for synthesized/symlink
parent directories.
- file_restore_symlink_metadata() early NULL return is copy-as-aware.
- Preserve errno across the implicit-parent failure cleanup.
- Neutral skip messages (the clamp, not --no-super, may be responsible).
- Daemon copy-as test tolerates the non-root privilege refusal; usage text lists
--copy-as.
- H3: a daemon module without 'client owner = yes' now also has super-user
device activity forced off (char/block mknod, --write-devices), so a root
daemon can no longer be made to create/write raw devices under AUTO. The
entries are skipped, preserving ordinary -a pushes.
- H1/H2: propagate a failed required --copy-as chown from symlink metadata
restore and implicitly-created parent directories, so the entry (and run)
reports failure instead of a wrong-owner success.
- Docs/help/headers updated for A2/A3 and the device clamp; startup warning
spells out the client-owner risk.
- Tests: daemon device clamp (skipped without opt-in, created with opt-in),
updated --super/--fake-super expectations.
A1: daemon refuses every client-chosen ownership/super-user request
(--numeric-ids/--chown/--usermap/--groupmap/--fake-super/--copy-as/--super)
unless the selected module opts in with 'client owner = yes'.
A2: fake-super owner replay requires an explicit ownership identity policy.
A3: --super no longer implies --numeric-ids (ownership stays opt-in).
A5: a failed --copy-as chown marks the entry failed instead of reporting
success with the wrong owner.
- test_credentials.c: NUL-terminate the overlong-line stack buffer before
make_tmp_file's strlen() (was a stack-buffer-overflow READ under ASan);
still exercises the overlong-rejection path.
- Add redacted protocol string variants (protocol_send_str_redacted /
receive + fd send_str_redacted/receive_str_redacted) and use them for the
daemon auth username/digest so --verbose / LOG_DEBUG_ALL never logs a
replayable credential while other protocol strings keep their debug trace.
- credentials_verify/gate: replace byte-wise-short-circuiting strcmp with a
fixed-length constant-time username compare (closes user-enumeration oracle);
update doc comment to match.
- read_secret_file: preserve password exact bytes (only strip trailing CR/LF)
and burn the stack line buffer; document the whitespace behavior.
- test_server_cli.c: note the parser zero-inits opts on failure.
- Add debug-level daemon test asserting the digest never appears under --verbose.
PROTOCOL_VERSION stays 2.15.0.
