RE: AW: AW: [cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Neulinger, N. <nn...@um...>]

CGIwrap does it the way it does, cause it was never designed to be used
with Action/etc. It was always set up for straight PATH_INFO based
execution.

In fact, cgiwrap long predates apache. I wrote it so that I could let
some untrusted users run cgi scripts on a small web server I ran on
A/UX. In fact, the original version didn't even let you use PATH_INFO,
you had to specify query string/get parameters to specify the user and
script.

Based on your syntax below, I'm sure you could trivially use mod_rewrite
to accomplish that support without a patch.=20

Yup.

> Anything else?

What troubled me most was how CGIWRAP constructed the cgiBaseDir. It might
increase security, but it didn't work with our setup:

  /home/<user>/public_html/<subdomain>/

That's the main reason I had to patch CGIWRAP myself. Why isn't PATH_TRANSLATED
used instead? Are there any security concerns?

hi,

Same applies to me. I never did more than "Hello World" in C, thus my code
is more than ugly. The following patch checks whether a request has been made
to http://domain.tld/cgi-bin/ which would result in the local path /home/user/cgi-bin/,
or whether the request was of the kind http://domain.tld/foobar.cgi, which would
result in /home/user/public_html/<subdomain>/foobar.cgi. This is achieved by
extracting the script path from PATH_TRANSLATED.

  /* We need our own cgiBaseDir */
  if(strcmp("cgi-bin", StripPathComponents(1,GetPathComponents(2, getenv("PATH_INFO")))) == 0) {
    cgiBaseDir = (char *) SafeMalloc(strlen(user->pw_dir) + 1, "Our customized cgiBaseDir");
    cgiBaseDir = user->pw_dir;
  }
  else {
    cgiBaseDir = (char *) SafeMalloc(strlen(GetPathComponents(4, getenv("PATH_TRANSLATED"))) + 2, "Our customized cgiBaseDir");
    sprintf(cgiBaseDir, "/%s", GetPathComponents(4, getenv("PATH_TRANSLATED")));
  }

This code replaces (approx. line 120):

  cgiBaseDir = GetBaseDirectory(user);

Please don't laugh. Terrible code, I know :) I'm not even sure whether I'm malloc'ing
enough memory to it.

p.s.: Always CC to the list

I forgot to mention: The PHP-Patch for cgiwrap is *not* supported by
the cgiwrap development team. You might want to check out first, whether
an "ordinary" CGI-Script works or not.

Re: [cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Daniel L. <ml-...@lo...>]

hi,

> CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

First you have to understand how CGIWRAP builds the "script dir": CGIWRAP
gets the home-directory, as specified in /etc/passwd and then adds whatever
you specified with --with-cgi-dir. In your example the user's home directory
therefore has to be "/var/chroot/_nossh/k060881/". Can you confirm this?

Furthermore, you should try a "cgiwrapD" output and have a closer look at it.

[cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Daniel N. <dr...@gm...>]

Hi,
 
Just do get sure: There is no need to have the script itself in a
special directoy, is it?
 
I get an: 
 
CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found
 
The specified user does not have a script directory set up for execution
of cgi scripts, or the directory permissions prevent cgiwrap from using
that directory.

[cgiwrap-users] Re: cgiwrap and a lot of vhosts under apache and a lot cgi-bins

[Nathan N. <nn...@um...>]

Easiest way - set up another cgi-bin that is shared by all the vhosts,
and put cgiwrap in it. 

Put it outside the vhost blocks in httpd.conf, and it should take effect
for all servers.

If you're using cgiwrap, you shouldn't allow vhosts to put cgi's
directly in cgi-bin, it's a significant security hole.

[cgiwrap-users] Forcing all scripts in a dir to use CgiWrap

[William J.A. B. <bi...@pd...>]

Greetings,

I have a vSite on a Cobalt RaQ4 which needs to be able to execute any file 
in a specific directory regardless of the extension. (Most have no extension.)

The Virtual Site Container from httpd.conf is as follows:

<VirtualHost 64.42.222.18>
ServerName training.xxxxxxx.com
ServerAdmin site2
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site2/web
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^64.42.222.18(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^training.xxxxxxx.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://training.xxxxxxx.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site2/users/$1/web/$3

#Added by WJAB July 3, 2002 to handle cgi without the .cgi
ScriptAlias /cgi/ /home/sites/site2/www/cgi/

AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType    text/html     .shtml
</VirtualHost>

Having added the script alias, the scripts now execute but the data output 
is owned by httpd instead of the user. I assume this means that CgiWrap is 
being bypassed entirely?

How can I get CgiWrap to handle files in this directory without the .cgi or 
.pl extension? (example: 'script' vs. 'script.cgi')

Thanks!
- Bill

1) it not need to be even 700
   - it should be at least 500 for script files (i.e. php/perl)
   - and it can be 100 for binary executable programs
   then "a minimum it should be chmod 700" is not true;

2) CGIwrap is not for learning security, and user can use
   any mode for his files. Setting 755 mode would not stop
   scripts from running when admin stop wrapping scripts with cgiwrap.
   There is no direct security problem with 755 mode for scripts
   assuming that script is wrapped or is configured (in httpd.conf)
   for execution only.

 For multiuser server with shell access,
 one can use setfacl for securing his public_html/WWW directory better:

 chmod 700 ~ ~/WWW/
 setfacl -r -m user:www:--x ~;
 setfacl -r -m user:www:r-x ~/WWW/

 where ~/WWW/ is his public html directory, and 'www' is a name
 of the web server user.

The CGIwrap error msg when you forget to set the execute permissions always
tells you "file is not chmod 755" or something to that effect.  That is
crazy if it's wrapped.  Isn't CGIwrap about security?  It should say "the
owner execute bit is not set, at a minimum it should be chmod 700"

[cgiwrap-users] trying to track down root cause of 405 error - resource not allowed

[Rusty W. <rus...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I dont think this would be an error due to cgiwrap, but I sure would appreciate
a "sanity" check... any and all comments sincerely appreciated.

System: Cobalt (Sun) RaQ 4i

When I try to run TFmail (nms-cgi.sourceforge.net) on my RaQ, I get the
following error message after i submit a form:

HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed

I know what the 405 means, but I dont understand it in this context. I have
looked at everything I can think of, but I still cant identify the problem.

The RaQ run all cgi programs inside "cgiwrap" - could this be the problem?

If I run the script in "debug" mode, it appears that it should work - the
example below is the output if i try to submit a form with a required field
missing. You can see the script gets to the HTML output part, BUT, if I run
this same script in NON debug mode, I get the 405 error?!?

Help?!?

[cgiwrap-users] looks like it can not find PATHs

hello

cgiwarp 3.7.1  linux rh 7.2


I have ironed out other issues I had and hopefully
this is the last issue that I have played with but
it's strange. The paths are all correct and
they are on system and users see perl too why 
does cgiwarp complain  about not seeing perl 
It happen to  other items too not just perl.
It seems that it does not see the PATHs ...

/usr/local/bin/perl exist on system and in users' path
exceuting cgi script by itself does not produce any error either

any ideas?

Well, I'm answering my own question here since I figured out a way to do
it....

I created a custom 500 ErrorDocument that looks in the REQUEST_URI to see if
it's looking for a file ending in "php".  If the file does end in "php" then
it sets the page's error codes to 404 Not Found and if doesn't end in "php"
then it sets it to 500 Internal Server Error.

Pretty basic.

Looks like your script is generating a syntax error. Suggest running it

[cgiwrap-users] cgiwrap did not produce a valid header

[Diana S. <Dia...@cu...>]

Been trying to run a script via a webserver POST
request for days. Keep getting this error in the Netscape
Web Server error log.  After the error is my Perl environment.
Ugly, I know, running on a DEC alpha box (soon to be retired).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the server error log entry:

[cgiwrap-users] putting root as username

[vinay <vi...@bs...>]

hi all
can i give root as the "username" to any particular CGI script.
Actually i want to add user on a linux system using a web interface. 
And for that i have made a CGI script which calls the system command
"useradd" .But since this "useradd" can be called only through root so 
my CGI script has to be of root user type.

Hence can anybody tell me that can i put root as username.

Regards, 
Vinay

[cgiwrap-users] Re: cgiwrap suggestion/tip

[Jeff B. <soi...@sg...>]

Didn't work for me.

I use (I know it's not that elegant, if you see how I can improve my rewrite
rule I'm open to it):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*) /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/USERNAME/$1 [PT]

and that works for me but:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/USERNAME/$1
neither
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/(.*)$
/usr/local/apache/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/USERNAME/$1
neither
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/(.*) /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/USERNAME/$1
neither
ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/(.*) usr/local/apache/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/USERNAME/$1

didn't work.
