Full version of "old" image not purged from varnish cache when file deleted
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Filing as a security bug to be paranoid, but I don't really think its actually that much of a security issue. Worst case is someone could get a version of a deleted file, if they planned ahead before it was deleted.

Example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/test/archive/b/b3/20130709191600!Bawolff-test-del.jpg returns the file, despite https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Bawolff-test-del.jpg

It appears that we send HTCP purges for old version thumbnails, but not the actual file asset itself.

Steps to reproduce:
*Upload some file
*Overwrite it with something
*In the file description page, click on the old version of the image, thus loading the full resolution version of the old file (and getting it in varnish cache)
*Delete the file
*The old full resolution link still works as its still in varnish cache.


I'm working on a patch for this, and I'll post it to the bug when done.

Hi Brian, I'm assuming you're making progress on this, but let me know if you need help. Thanks!

bawolff: How are things going?
Any news, or do you need help from somebody (who)?

Bryan is going to try having a go at it, since this is relatively self contained.

Reproduced on test2 with:

Call SquidUpdate::purge() when deleteing

I think this patch will send the appropriate squid/varnish purge messages.

I tested it locally by running a sniffer to watch for the HTCP packets being sent. You can get the sniffer I used from https://github.com/bd808/htcpsnoop. I have not tested with an actual squid/varnish cache layer.

I almost posted a review to gerrit and then I remembered this was marked as "security".

Aaron, can you look at the patch too, since this is part of filerepo?

I've tested and read over this patch. It looks good to me.

Some notes:

*body of the foreach loop should be indented
*There's still a code path with moving files where the old name of the file isn't purged, but that could be a separate issue, since we're not trying to hide the old filename, and long term we want the old filename to give an http redirect anyhow, so really this code path probably doesn't matter.
*The revision delete code path (RevDel_FileList::doPostCommitUpdates) still has this issue. This is a much more important code path then the move file (This includes things like oversight of files), but still could be considered a mildly separate bug. Nonetheless, I would recommend fixing this code path at the same time.

*body of the foreach loop should be indented

Easy fix. I think my current listchars setting in vim is making it hard for me to see some of these indent issues. I'll work on that.

*There's still a code path with moving files where the old name of the file
isn't purged, but that could be a separate issue, since we're not trying to
hide the old filename, and long term we want the old filename to give an http
redirect anyhow, so really this code path probably doesn't matter.

I think that the call to purgeEverything() in move() _should_ purge the squid. File::purgeEverything() calls LocalFile::purgeCache() which in turn calls SquidUpdate::purge(array($this->getURL())).

*The revision delete code path (RevDel_FileList::doPostCommitUpdates) still
has this issue. This is a much more important code path then the move file
(This includes things like oversight of files), but still could be considered
a mildly separate bug. Nonetheless, I would recommend fixing this code path
at the same time.

I'm looking at this now. Unfortunately the level of abstraction here and my very limited understanding of the codebase may make this take longer than it could/should. The original patch took me 2 days to create. :)
