From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; now I want to improve the template integrity verification. I need to check the 'qemu' user can open an iso files. This patch is used to 'qemu' user has permission to open a file. Test this patch: $ mkdir -p a/b/c $ touch a/b/c/f $ chmod o-x a/b/c $ sudo PYTHONPATH=src python -c ' from kimchi.utils import probe_file_permission_as_user print probe_file_permission_as_user("a/b/c/f", "qemu")' It will return False change another user, it may return True Signed-off-by: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; --- src/kimchi/utils.py | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/kimchi/utils.py b/src/kimchi/utils.py index d4ab1a1..baee936 100644 --- a/src/kimchi/utils.py +++ b/src/kimchi/utils.py @@ -22,8 +22,11 @@ # import cherrypy +import grp +from multiprocessing import Process, Queue import os import psutil +import pwd import re import subprocess import urllib2 @@ -234,3 +237,24 @@ def run_setfacl_set_attr(path, attr="r", user=""): set_user = ["setfacl", "--modify", "user:%s:%s" % (user, attr), path] out, error, ret = run_command(set_user) return ret == 0 + + +def probe_file_permission_as_user(file, user): + def probe_permission(q, file, user): + uid = pwd.getpwnam(user).pw_uid + gid = pwd.getpwnam(user).pw_gid + gids = [g.gr_gid for g in grp.getgrall() if user in g.gr_mem] + os.setgid(gid) + os.setgroups(gids) + os.setuid(uid) + try: + with open(file) as f: + q.put(True) + except Exception as e: + q.put(False) + + queue = Queue() + p = Process(target=probe_permission, args=(queue, file, user)) + p.start() + p.join() + return queue.get() -- 1.8.4.2
