[Bug 2177239] New: Lua scripts use an unsafe package path
by bugzilla@redhat.com

Bug ID: 2177239
Summary: Lua scripts use an unsafe package path
Product: Fedora
Version: 37
Status: NEW
Component: lua

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
By default, Lua allows loading code from the current directory, and Fedora
doesn't change this in packaged scripts installed in the system path. This has
security implications.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install any package that provides a #!/usr/bin/lua script, such as (but not
limited) to luarocks
2. In the terminal: echo 'os.execute("echo rm -rf /")' > lfs.lua; luarocks
--version
Actual results:
$ luarocks --version
rm -rf /
/usr/bin/lua: /usr/share/lua/5.4/luarocks/fs/lua.lua:299: attempt to index a
boolean value (upvalue 'lfs')
stack traceback:

/home/augusto/Projects/digestif/.luarocks/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.4/luarocks/3.9.2-1/bin/luarocks:35:
in main chunk
[C]: in ?
Expected results:
$ luarocks --version
/usr/bin/luarocks 3.9.1
LuaRocks main command-line interface
Additional info:
I'm using the following fix on a Lua program I maintain:
#!/usr/bin/env lua
-- Remove relative directories from package path
package.path = package.path:gsub("%f[^\0;]%.[^;]*", ""):gsub(";+",
";"):gsub("^;", ""):gsub(";$", "")
package.cpath = package.cpath:gsub("%f[^\0;]%.[^;]*", ""):gsub(";+",
";"):gsub("^;", ""):gsub(";$", "")
Fedora can probably do better and use hardcoded pacakge.path and cpath values,
since these are known in advance.
Scripts with the #!/usr/bin/texlua shebang also might be affected by this
issue. Since texlua provides an alternative method to find packages based on
kpathsea, something like this should be used as well:
os.setenv("TEXMFDOTDIR", "/dev/null")
However, this last modification will break programs that expect to find TeX
files in the current directory. I don't know of a more fine grained way that
would allow that but still exclude random Lua libraries from being found.

[x]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[ ]: Package functions as described.
[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[-]: Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream

Note: gpgverify is not used.
[ ]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
architectures.
[ ]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[x]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed

Comments:
a) In the files section rather than
%{lua_pkgdir}/fluent/
it would be preferable to have
%dir %{lua_pkgdir}/fluent
%{lua_pkgdir}/fluent/*.lua
as type of content is clearer. Not essential, just a preference.
b) Smoke test seems ok
Package approved.
