=== issue 9: command-line arguments are leaked to other processes ===
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that command-line arguments are visible to other users
|
||||
(through the 'ps' command, or the windows Process Explorer tool), so
|
||||
if you are using a Tahoe node on a shared host, other users on that
|
||||
host will be able to see (and capture) any directory caps that you set
|
||||
up with the "tahoe add-alias" command.
|
||||
|
||||
==== how to manage it ====
|
||||
|
||||
Bypass add-alias and edit the NODEDIR/private/aliases file directly,
|
||||
by adding a line like this:
|
||||
|
||||
fun: URI:DIR2:ovjy4yhylqlfoqg2vcze36dhde:4d4f47qko2xm5g7osgo2yyidi5m4muyo2vjjy53q4vjju2u55mfa
|
||||
|
||||
By entering the dircap through the editor, the command-line arguments are
|
||||
bypassed, and other users will not be able to see them. Once you've added the
|
||||
alias, no other secrets are passed through the command line, so this
|
||||
vulnerability becomes less significant: they can still see your filenames and
|
||||
other arguments you type there, but not the caps that Tahoe uses to permit
|
||||
access to your files and directories.
