cecb222d1a m4: Stop shipping our own copy of pkg.m4
The canonical way to find these macro is to run autogen.sh or autoreconf
while pkg-config (or pkgconf) is installed, which will copy an up-to-date
version of the macros from /usr/share/aclocal. The `make dist` archive
will include a bundled copy of those macros, but the git repository
doesn't need them.

c7ab8552ad bus/selinux: Move vsnprintf call to avoid va_list reuse
In log_callback() the same va_list is reused for a call to vsnprintf and
vsyslog. A va_list can't be reused in this manner, such use is undefined
behavior that changes depending on glibc version.

In current glibc versions a segfault can be observed from the callsite at
bus/selinux.c:412. When trying to log a non-auditable event, the segfault
happens in strlen inside vsyslog.

Moving the call to vsnprintf closer to audit_log_user_avc_message (which is
followed by a 'goto out') avoids the reuse and segfault.

5e49913450 CI: Don't change ownership of source directory
These CI scripts were originally used on Travis-CI, which starts all
builds as an ordinary user that has the ability to become root via `sudo`.
On Gitlab-CI, we don't need that: we start as uid 0, and can do the
whole CI run like that. This also means we get somewhat better test
coverage, because some of our unit tests benefit from being run as uid 0.

The only test coverage we lose by being uid 0 is that
test_pending_fd_timeout() in test/dbus-daemon.c is skipped, because
uid 0 bypasses the limit that's under test there.

3fb065b075 dbus-marshal-byteswap: Byte-swap Unix fd indexes if needed
When a D-Bus message includes attached file descriptors, the body of the
message contains unsigned 32-bit indexes pointing into an out-of-band
array of file descriptors. Some D-Bus APIs like GLib's GDBus refer to
these indexes as "handles" for the associated fds (not to be confused
with a Windows HANDLE, which is a kernel object).

The assertion message removed by this commit is arguably correct up to
a point: fd-passing is only reasonable on a local machine, and no known
operating system allows processes of differing endianness even on a
multi-endian ARM or PowerPC CPU, so it makes little sense for the sender
to specify a byte-order that differs from the byte-order of the recipient.

However, this doesn't account for the fact that a malicious sender
doesn't have to restrict itself to only doing things that make sense.
On a system with untrusted local users, a message sender could crash
the system dbus-daemon (a denial of service) by sending a message in
the opposite endianness that contains handles to file descriptors.

Before this commit, if assertions are enabled, attempting to byteswap
a fd index would cleanly crash the message recipient with an assertion
failure. If assertions are disabled, attempting to byteswap a fd index
would silently do nothing without advancing the pointer p, causing the
message's type and the pointer into its contents to go out of sync, which
can result in a subsequent crash (the crash demonstrated by fuzzing was
a use-after-free, but other failure modes might be possible).

In principle we could resolve this by rejecting wrong-endianness messages
from a local sender, but it's actually simpler and less code to treat
wrong-endianness messages as valid and byteswap them.

bbf5ef008a test: Export G_TEST_BUILDDIR, G_TEST_SRCDIR
These environment variables are used by GLib's g_test_build_filename()
and related convenience functions, which make it easier for unit tests
to find data files in a way that works for both build-time tests and
"as-installed" tests. During "as-installed" testing, both variables
will normally be unset, and GLib uses the directory containing the
executable. In most cases that results in the right thing happening, and
this will also be true for dbus, since we install the test executables
in ${libexecdir}/installed-tests, helper executables in the same place,
and test data in ${libexecdir}/installed-tests/data.

c0bfcc0978 test/data: Add messages that reproduce dbus/dbus#413, dbus/dbus#418
In debug builds with "embedded tests" enabled, these will automatically
be used as input for the message-internals test.

Some of the messages themselves are output from a fuzzer, others are
simplifications to include only one reason for lack of validity per
message.

I've included an annotated hex-dump for each message here, but the dbus
test suite doesn't currently know how to convert hex to binary, so I've
also committed the corresponding binary. See the comment at the top of
each hex-dump for how to create the binary version (which requires the
xxd tool shipped with vim).

It would be nice for the dbus test suite to be able to convert the
annotated hex-dump to binary, either at build-time with a Python script
or at runtime by loading the text file and decoding the hex, but I don't
want to block on that for dbus/dbus#413 and dbus/dbus#418.

b9e6a75230 dbus-marshal-validate: Validate length of arrays of fixed-length items
This fast-path previously did not check that the array was made up
of an integer number of items. This could lead to assertion failures
and out-of-bounds accesses during subsequent message processing (which
assumes that the message has already been validated), particularly after
the addition of _dbus_header_remove_unknown_fields(), which makes it
more likely that dbus-daemon will apply non-trivial edits to messages.

b5a09fb11c dbus-server-socket: Make unix:tmpdir equivalent to unix:dir
On Linux, there are two classes of AF_UNIX socket, which D-Bus refers
to as unix:path=... (portable to non-Linux systems) and unix:abstract=...
(not portable).

Back in 2003 when dbus gained support for abstract Unix sockets on Linux,
everyone thought they were better in every way than path-based Unix
sockets: if a DBusServer crashes or is terminated abnormally, there's
no detritus left in the filesystem. What's not to like? As a result,
since commit a70b042f (2003-06-04), when a DBusServer listens on a
unix:tmpdir=... address on Linux, the default is for the result to be
a unix:abstract=... address, with unix:path=... addresses only used on
non-Linux platforms.

However, the world has changed in the last 19 years, and namespace-based
Linux containers (which didn't exist in 2003) are now very popular. This
makes abstract sockets problematic.

Abstract sockets are tied to the network namespace, which is
all-or-nothing: if a container is to access the Internet without using
some sort of proxy or intermediary (like slirp4netns) then it needs to
share the network namespace with the host system, and that implies
sharing all abstract sockets with the host system. If the well-known
session bus is listening on an abstract socket, then it's a sandbox
escape route for any sandboxed or containerized app running under the
same uid. Conversely, if a container is *not* sharing the network
namespace with the host system, then it cannot access a session bus that
is listening on an abstract socket without using some sort of proxy
(like xdg-dbus-proxy), even if it isn't intended to impose a security
boundary and giving it direct access to the session bus would have been
more desirable.

Path-based sockets do not have this problem because they exist in the
filesystem (part of the "everything is a file" Unix philosophy),
allowing mount namespaces and bind-mounts to be used to share or
unshare them selectively.

On systems with `systemd --user` where dbus has been configured with
`--enable-user-session`, in general the session bus will already be
using a path-based socket for the "user bus", disregarding the listening
address specified in /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf. The default in many
recent Linux distributions is either to use dbus-daemon in this way, or
to use dbus-broker, a reimplementation of the message bus service which
has similar "user bus" behaviour.

However, the <listen> address in session.conf is used when dbus-launch(1)
or dbus-run-session(1) is used to start a session bus, either manually,
via autolaunching, or via system integration glue in operating systems
that are not using `systemd --user`. This will occur particularly often
in operating systems that boot using a non-systemd init system.

Making unix:tmpdir=/tmp equivalent to unix:dir=/tmp ensures that the
well-known session bus listens on a path-based socket, allowing container
and sandboxing frameworks to mediate access to it in the same way they
would for the user bus. The D-Bus Specification already allows (but does
not require) this behaviour, because it is the only thing that was
implementable on non-Linux systems such as *BSD.

This change has the potential to cause regressions. If a container
framework enters a chroot or unshares the mount namespace but does not
unshare the network namespace, and is relying on the ability for a
process inside a container to access the session bus outside the
container via its abstract socket, then that assumption will be broken
by this change. Some use cases of schroot(1) are likely to suffer from
this. However, container frameworks with that assumption would already
have found that it does not hold when using the user bus, and it is
necessary to break that assumption if we want it to be possible to apply
application-level sandboxing in a secure way.

Another potential regression from this change is that if a dbus-daemon
is terminated abnormally, it will leave a socket in /tmp. Distributors
of operating systems where heavy use of dbus-launch(1) is expected might
wish to run dbus-cleanup-sockets(1) periodically.

This partially reverts commit a70b042f.

a41ee157dd cmake: Always try to find pkg-config
Commit 97bdefd4e2 move the
include(FindPkgConfig) call into a Linux-specific codepath, so pkg-config
was not being detected on FreeBSD. This mean that the check for
PKG_CONFIG_FOUND to determine whether to install .pc files later on
would always fail and .pc files were not installed on FreeBSD.

never included.

6a5e212b39 dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c: Avoid including sys/syslimits.h
This header is GCC specific header that on my system just contains
`#include_next <limits.h>`. FreeBSD also provides this header but it
contains a `#warning` that it should not be used. Replace the one use
with `#include <limit.h>` and drop the configure checks.

2d36911fc3 Move release checklist to its own file
In other projects I've found that having a separate file that only
lists the release steps makes them easier to check.

c8dd76206b test: Skip tests that involve switching uid if unable to do so
In a Linux user namespace, it is possible that we are uid 0 but are
unable to switch to some other uid like DBUS_USER or DBUS_TEST_USER,
because the other uid is not "mapped" in the user namespace, resulting
in setuid() or setresuid() failing with EINVAL "Invalid argument".
For example, it's easy for this to happen when running under the
bubblewrap tool.

Try to drop privileges in a child process, and skip the test if we
are unable to do so.
