[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-8101) Installation script permission issues
and other scripts fixes
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8101?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sergey Urushkin updated SOLR-8101:
----------------------------------
Description:
Until [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7871] is fixed, I suggest to improve current shell scripts. Provided patch:
* changes {{$SOLR_ENV}} default to {{/etc/default/solr.in.sh}} . This is *security* issue. If {{solr.in.sh}} is placed in directory which is writable by {{$SOLR_USER}}, solr process is able to write to it, and than it will be run by root on start/shutdown.
* changes permissions. {{$SOLR_USER}} should only be able to write to {{$SOLR_VAR_DIR}} {{$SOLR_INSTALL_DIR/server/solr-webapp}} {{$SOLR_INSTALL_DIR/server/logs}} . {{solr-webapp}} directory might be inspected more. These directories should not be readable by other users as they may contain personal information.
* sets {{$SOLR_USER}} home directory to {{$SOLR_VAR_DIR}} . As I can see there is no need in {{/home/solr}} directory.
* adds quotes to unquoted variables
* adds leading zero to chmod commands
* removes group from chown commands (uses ":")
Tested on ubuntu 14.04 amd64, but changes are pretty system-independent.
