Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PathChecker()

isc::util::file::PathChecker::PathChecker	(	const std::string	default_path,
		const std::string	env_name = "" )

Constructor.

Makes a call to getPath(true) to initialize the supported path.

Parameters

default_path	path to use unless overridden by explicitly or via environment variable.
env_name	name of environment variable (if one), that can override the default path.

Member Function Documentation

enableEnforcement()

void isc::util::file::PathChecker::enableEnforcement ( bool enable )

static

Enables or disables security enforcment checks.

Parameters

enable

true to enable security checks, false to disable.

Definition at line 355 of file filesystem.cc.

Referenced by main(), and isc::process::DControllerBase::parseArgs().

getDefaultPath()

std::string isc::util::file::PathChecker::getDefaultPath ( ) const

inline

Fetches the default path.

Definition at line 285 of file filesystem.h.

getEnvName()

std::string isc::util::file::PathChecker::getEnvName ( ) const

inline

Fetches the environment variable name.

Definition at line 290 of file filesystem.h.

getPath()

std::string isc::util::file::PathChecker::getPath	(	bool	reset = false,
		const std::string	explicit_path = "" )

Fetches the supported path.

When called with reset=true it will calculate the supported path as follows:

1. Use the value of explicit_path parameter if not blank
2. Use the value of the environment variable, if one is provided and it is defined in the environment
3. Use the value of default path.

Parameters

reset	recalculate when true, defaults to false.
explicit_path	set the default path to this value. This is for testing purposes only.

Returns

String containing the default path.

isDefaultOverridden()

bool isc::util::file::PathChecker::isDefaultOverridden

(

)

Indicates if the default path has been overridden.

Definition at line 347 of file filesystem.cc.

pathHasPermissions()

bool isc::util::file::PathChecker::pathHasPermissions	(	mode_t	permissions,
		bool	enforce_perms = shouldEnforceSecurity() ) const

Check if the path has expected permissions.

Parameters

permissions	The expected permissions.
enforce_perms	Enables permsissions check. If false the function simply returns true.

Returns

True if the path points to a file or a directory, false otherwise.

shouldEnforceSecurity()

bool isc::util::file::PathChecker::shouldEnforceSecurity ( )

static

Indicates security checks should be enforced.

validateDirectory()

std::string isc::util::file::PathChecker::validateDirectory	(	const std::string	input_path_str,
		bool	enforce_path = shouldEnforceSecurity() ) const

Validates a directory against a supported path.

Used to validate a string that represents a directory that may or may not end with a "/" (i.e "/foo/bar", bar is assumed to be the a directory, not a file.

If the input is empty or it matches the supported path, it returns the supported path. Otherwise it throws an error.

Parameters

input_path_str	file path to validate.
enforce_path	If true throw SecurityError when validation against the supported path fails, if false throw SecurityWarn.

Returns

validated path

Exceptions

SecurityError

if the path does not match the supported path and security is being enforced, SecurityWarn if it is not being enforced.

Here is the call graph for this function:

validatePath()

std::string isc::util::file::PathChecker::validatePath	(	const std::string	input_path_str,
		bool	enforce_path = shouldEnforceSecurity() ) const

Validates a file path against a supported path.

If the input path specifies a parent path and file name, the parent path is validated against the supported path. If they match, the function returns the validated path. If the input path contains only a file name the function returns valid path using the supported path and the input path name.

Parameters

input_path_str	file path to validate.
enforce_path	If true throw SecurityError when validation against the supported path fails, if false throw SecurityWarn.

Returns

validated path as a string (supported path + input file name)

Exceptions

BadValue	if the input path does not include a file name.
SecurityError	if the parent path does not path the supported path and security is being enforced, SecurityWarn if it is not being enforced.
