- Add the public key to authorized_keys instead of replacing the file.
- Use AF_INET6 when GSTFSD_BIND_HOST is an IPv6 address (binding ::1
crashed with the AF_INET server).
- Close idle client connections after 30 s.
Tests run the real daemon against a small fake guestfs module over a
socket; this also exercises the earlier sendall() fix.
gstfsd only listens on loopback unless GSTFSD_BIND_HOST and
GSTFSD_ALLOW_REMOTE=1 are set; add commented environment lines for both
service definitions. gstfsd.conf now ends with a newline, which matters
because dev/libvirt-bootstrap.sh appends it to /etc/supervisor.conf.
- Hash the root password with a random SHA-512 salt instead of the fixed
"$6$kgPoiREy".
- Talk to gstfsd through one helper with a 120 s socket timeout; an
unreachable daemon or a bad reply is an error message, not a 500.
- gstfsd refuses to listen on a non-loopback address unless
GSTFSD_ALLOW_REMOTE=1: it is an unauthenticated root service.
- gstfsd: encode replies (sendall(str) raised TypeError on Python 3, so
the success path never worked) and use octal chmod modes.
- README: what gstfsd does and how to allow it on a remote compute.
- Comment out the nginx /socket.io/ location: a firewall on 6081 does not
protect a console that nginx proxies on 80/443.
- Default SOCKETIO_HOST to 127.0.0.1.
- README: short enable steps and the changes existing installs need.
- test_socketiod_disabled writes its settings module to a temporary
directory instead of the source tree.
socketiod does not validate the console token, keeps a single global PTY
and broadcasts its output to every connected client, so anyone who can
reach port 6081 can read and write a serial console that someone opened.
It is also broken for legitimate users, since console/views.py now writes
signed tokens that socketiod cannot parse.
Until it is rewritten, turn the serial console off by default:
- Add SERIAL_CONSOLE_ENABLED = False to the settings template; installs
whose settings.py lacks it are treated as disabled.
- The console view shows an error instead of the xterm page for pty
consoles while the setting is off.
- socketiod refuses to start unless SERIAL_CONSOLE_ENABLED is True.
- Supervisor: autostart=false for socketiod; drop -d (debug) from the
supervisor and systemd definitions; fix the systemd unit description;
conf/systemd/install.sh no longer suggests enabling socketiod.
- README: stop opening port 6081 and document how to enable the serial
console on a trusted network.
- Computes API: mark password as write_only in ComputeSerializer, restrict ComputeViewSet and architectures to IsAdminUser.
- Instances API: enforce user ownership tenant isolation in InstanceViewSet.list, restrict MigrateViewSet and CreateInstanceViewSet to IsAdminUser, require IsAdminUser for mutating FlavorViewSet.
- Storage, Network, and Interface APIs: restrict StorageViewSet, VolumeViewSet, NetworkViewSet, InterfaceViewSet to IsAdminUser.
- AppSettings & NWFilters: protect appsettings and nwfilter views with @superuser_only (403 Forbidden for non-superusers).
- noVNC Console: sign tokens with TimestampSigner (salt='console.novnc', max_age=600), verify signature and user authorization in novncd with backward-compatible fallback for debug/test mode.
- Accounts: avoid hardcoded default admin password; generate cryptographically secure random password unless ADMIN_PASSWORD is set (preserve 'admin' in test runner).
- gstfsd daemon: bind to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of 0.0.0.0.
- Tests: added comprehensive test coverage for API security, token expiration/rejection, and view permissions (132 tests passing).
