fix(net): refuse out-of-zone names at a guest deny-subtree DNS listener - #2300
norrietaylor merged 3 commits into
Conversation
A deny-all host-address box on a VM-backed guest resolved out-of-zone names at the switch gateway: the interim NET-079 carve-out admitted the gateway's port 53 whole, UDP and TCP, so a box that admits no destination could still ask a resolver beyond the machine — and DNS over TCP could retry past the verdict. The guest's deny subtree now steers its UDP-53 lookups onto a loopback listener on the answerer's port (NET-141 slice 2): deny_out admits the listener beside the reply direction, the dstnat match carries no destination address (the box asks the gateway like every other host-address box; the steer is the carve-out), and the listener itself answers REFUSED for every name outside the box zone — apex and a non-lowercase zone suffix among them — NODATA for an in-zone non-A question, and forwards the zone's A questions to the switch gateway alone. DNS over TCP is neither steered nor admitted. The guest daemon starts the listener after its classifier table loads; the daemon's own lookups are untouched (cgroup-keyed match, deny path only). The interim --gateway-resolver installer flag and every test, digest and pin that spelled the interim carve-out follow the new shape.

Review comments at @crates/minimald/src/net/guest_dns.rs:
- Around line 267-290: Connect the `forward_socket` to `gateway` before sending,
then use `send` and `recv` instead of `send_to` and `recv_from` so replies are
accepted only from the gateway. Preserve the existing error logging and early
returns for connection, send, and receive failures.
- Around line 132-142: Limit concurrent forwarding in `serve` by using a shared
Tokio semaphore and acquiring a permit before spawning `forward`; when no permit
is available, drop the datagram. Hold the permit for the task’s duration and
release it when `forward` completes.
- Around line 66-112: Update guest_dns::start to return the bind failure instead
of only logging and returning, while preserving the existing listener setup on
success. Propagate that failure from the guest startup call in main as a startup
error so the daemon does not continue without the DNS listener.

Connect each forward socket to the gateway so a datagram from any other sender is dropped, cap forwards in flight so a flood cannot exhaust the daemon's descriptors, and drop the needless to_string calls clippy rejects in the guest classifier integration test.
… listener decide() forwarded a message with no question, and an UPDATE or NOTIFY whose zone section named an in-zone A, because every per-question check passed vacuously. Answer the first REFUSED and the rest NOTIMP, so the forward path carries only standard lookups. Bind the listener directly so its log does not read as the box-zone answerer, pin the integration test's boot-log check to the exact example.com REFUSED line, and cite NET-079 (the deny-all case) rather than NET-141 at the lines this change added.

crate::traced landed on main after the release branch was cut, so the cherry-pick of #2300 did not compile here.
…(0.7.0 backport) (#2742) * fix(minimal): hold the answerer channel socket owner-only (#2297) * fix(minimal,minvmd): hold the answerer channel socket owner-only The box-zone answerer's channel socket was world-connectable: the launchd plist bound it SockPathMode 0666 and the systemd socket unit SocketMode=0666, leaving the peer-uid gate the only check on who may connect. Both units now bind it owner-only -- SockPathOwner the operator, SockPathMode 0600 on launchd; SocketUser the operator, SocketMode=0600 on systemd -- with the uid gate kept as defence in depth. An install whose socket node carries group or other bits -- one that predates the mode, or a hand that relaxed it -- now fails custody through a channel_mode fact, so the advisory re-surfaces and a step re-run re-binds the socket. The accept loop's foreign-refusal warn is rate-limited to a few lines a second, so a connect storm cannot flood the log; the refusals themselves are never limited. * fix(minimal,minimald,minvmd): name the other account on a refused channel connect A daemon whose connect the owner-only channel socket refuses now says the host's DNS service belongs to another account, not a bare Permission denied. The answerer step needs the operator's account to resolve, with no stand-in uid, and custody fails a channel socket the operator does not own. * fix(minimal,minvmd): leave another operator's DNS service alone A channel socket owned by another existing, non-root account is that operator's service: the answerer step is now unavailable with the same sentence the daemons say on a refused connect, instead of a custody failure whose step would reinstall the unit and take the service over. A root-owned socket, or one whose uid names no account, still fails custody so the step re-binds it. The minvmd tests that take the process-global foreign-refusal slots now run one at a time and start and end with every slot free, and the warn-rate test bounds the burst at two windows' worth of lines, so a slow runner that spreads the burst does not fail it. * fix(minimal): offer the step over a socket another account left behind A channel socket another account owns refuses the answerer step only when a service is installed; with none, the step's install removes the leftover socket before it loads the unit, so it is offered. --------- Co-authored-by: gominimal-aw-bot[bot] <281738952+gominimal-aw-bot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit 746770d) * fix(net): refuse out-of-zone names at a guest deny-subtree DNS listener (#2300) * fix(net): refuse out-of-zone names at a guest deny-subtree DNS listener A deny-all host-address box on a VM-backed guest resolved out-of-zone names at the switch gateway: the interim NET-079 carve-out admitted the gateway's port 53 whole, UDP and TCP, so a box that admits no destination could still ask a resolver beyond the machine — and DNS over TCP could retry past the verdict.

The table refuses non-loopback IPv6 from the boxes subtree and counts that refusal in the same named counter as the deny chain. The per-launch probe reads with a UDP datagram, so a launch no longer waits the SYN retransmit a refused TCP connect pays. The reading at daemon start keeps its TCP leg. Each probe logs its leg and duration. * test(minimald): prove the classifier's mark, IPv6 and probe gaps live Three root-lane proofs load the real table: the install refuses a whole-mark ct writer and a mask in a well-known range, and an allow box's IPv6 connection to a peer is refused and counted. The live probe proof also checks the per-launch reading waits no retransmit. * fix(minimald): pass shellcheck and pin the new mask refusals The rerun hint's empty assignment tripped SC1007 in the shell lint gate. The installer test pinned the old remedy text and escaped with 0x0000c000, the kube-proxy range the install now refuses: it now pins the new remedy, escapes with 0x03000000, and pins the well-known range refusal. The IPv6 refusal comment names the condition that replaces it. * fix(minimald): re-apply the recorded ct-mark mask and name min finalize-install With no --ct-mark-mask, the install step adopts the mask a previous install recorded under the tree. Mask refusals now name min finalize-install --ct-mark-mask <mask>. The conflict scan joins the nft and iptables-save hits with a newline. * feat(minimal): add min finalize-install --ct-mark-mask and keep it at boot The mask record lives in cgroupfs, so a reboot empties it. The classifier step's block now passes the chosen or recorded mask to the one-time run and to the boot unit's ExecStart, so the operator's bits survive a reboot. A requested mask that differs from the loaded table's re-runs the step. * fix(minimald): refuse a CONNMARK --restore-mark that copies the whole mark The install's ct-mark scan now treats --restore-mark with no --mask, --ctmask or --nfmask, or an all-ones one, as a whole-mark writer, as it does --save-mark. A restore with a narrow mask is still no conflict. * fix(minimald): allow --restore-mark, bind probe datagrams first A CONNMARK --restore-mark copies the connection mark into the packet mark and never writes the connection mark, which is all the classifier reads. This reverts 16d9160 and pins a restore with no mask as no conflict. hold_probe_listeners now binds its datagram endpoints before it spawns any TCP drain thread, so a failed datagram bind returns before a listener serves. --------- Co-authored-by: minimal-foundry[bot] <327719912+minimal-foundry[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit 354548e) * fix(minimald): adapt the host classifier gaps backport to release/0.7.0 The cherry-pick before this one keeps main's text for every line #2712 changes. Main's neighbouring code comes from the QUIC block work (#2513, #2553, #2601, #2644), the box-name placement (#2722) and the crate renames, none of which release/0.7.0 has. The conflicts were resolved onto release's code without importing that work: - classifier.rs: the four new unit tests are appended after release's last test, without the QUIC cohort tests main has above them. Their sandbox::classifier paths are sandbox2::classifier here. - install-host-classifier.sh: the table gains the refused counter. The QUIC leaf set that main declares beside it is not on release, so it stays out. The --help range (2,87p) matches release's header too. - finalize_install.rs: release has one classifier item, built by classifier_item_on_this_host, not main's classifier_items_on_this_host with the QUIC block helper item. That function takes --ct-mark-mask and fills recorded_mask and requested_mask itself. plan_for_this_host keeps release's names item placement and only passes the mask on. - #2712's edits to finalize_install_names_the_quic_block_helper are dropped: release has no QUIC block helper item or test. - install_test.sh: run_hc puts HC_PATH_PREFIX ahead of PATH, the line #2601 added on main. Without it the new --restore-mark case never reaches its stand-in iptables-save, and shellcheck flags the variable as unused. The user-facing text is main's, unchanged. --------- Co-authored-by: gominimal-aw-bot[bot] <281738952+gominimal-aw-bot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: minimal-foundry[bot] <327719912+minimal-foundry[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
Routing-Key: inbox-route/I_kwDOSUhdos8AAAABVgR08A
A deny-all host-address box on a VM-backed guest resolved out-of-zone names at the switch gateway: the interim NET-079 carve-out admitted the gateway's port 53 whole, UDP and TCP, so a box that admits no destination could still ask a resolver beyond the machine — and DNS over TCP could retry past the verdict.
The guest's deny subtree now steers its UDP-53 lookups onto a loopback listener on the answerer's port (NET-079's deny-all case): deny_out admits the listener beside the reply direction, the dstnat match carries no destination address, and the listener answers REFUSED for every name outside the box zone, NODATA for an in-zone non-A question, and forwards the zone's A questions to the switch gateway alone. DNS over TCP is neither steered nor admitted. A message with no question is answered REFUSED, and a non-QUERY opcode (UPDATE, NOTIFY) NOTIMP, so neither rides the forward path.
Native hosts change too. The installer's dstnat match no longer carries
ip daddr $answerer_address(install-host-classifier.sh,render_ruleset), and the native host renders the same rule. On a native host a deny-all box's UDP 53 to any address is now retargeted onto the box-zone answerer, where before only UDP 53 to the answerer's own address matched and UDP 53 elsewhere met the deny chain's ICMP reject. The box still reaches only the answerer, which answers the zone and refuses the rest. What changes is the failure mode for a box that asks an off-host resolver: an answerer verdict instead of a reject.net::guest_dns: the listener itself — verdicts, forwarding, and the boot-time bind on the answerer's port at the guest's loopbackinstall-host-classifier.sh: the deny subtree's dstnat steer and listener-only admission; the interim--gateway-resolverflag is goneclassifier.rs/main.rs: the guest render hands the listener's address and port; the guest daemon starts the listener after its table loadsprovider.rs, the installer test, the guest classifier integration suiteVerification
