The authentication code did not initialize one of the buffers used to
calculate the password hashes. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
memory when the user provided no password.
If a 10.2.11 or older server without a grant on all mysql tables is found,
the authenticator now falls back to the 10.1 behavior that uses subqueries
instead of CTEs. This is a more user friendly way of working around
MDEV-13453 that causes the problem as all functionality except the support
for composite roles is retained.
If the password field in mysql.user is empty, it is possible that the
actual password is stored in the authentication_string field. Most of the
time this happens due to MDEV-16774 which causes the password to be stored
in the authentication_string field.
Also added a test case that verifies the problem and that it is fixed by
this commit.
Instead of looking at the server version, the actual error message should
be inspected. This guarantees that the correct error message is logged
even with custom builds.
When the 10.2 users query is executed with a MariaDB server older than
10.2.11, the query will fail due to inadequate grants on the 'users' table
generated as a part of the CTE. To work around the issue, a SELECT grant
on the whole mysql database is required. Logging the server where the
query fails also helps resolve the problem by pointing out where the grant
needs to be added.
Added support for composite roles for 10.2 and newer versions. As
recursive CTEs are required to extract the role mappings, composite roles
aren't supported on 10.1.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
The maxscale_is_shutting_down function is used to detect when MaxScale
should stop. This fixes a race condition in the code where the workers has
not yet been initialized but a termination signal has been received. It
also replaces the misuse of the service_should_stop variable with a proper
function.
The service configuration serialization now uses the helper functions from
config.hh. This fixes the failing test mxs1731_old_persisted_config and
improves the readability of persisted configuration files.
Converted parameters into booleans that were used like booleans. This
forced the removal of the automatic enabling of
localhost_match_wildcard_host but since it has been enable by default,
this change should have no practical effects.
In addition to the clarification of the persisted configurations, this
change will limit the negative side-effects of changing a configuration
value in the main configuration file after a runtime modification has been
made. If a value has not been modified at runtime, changes to it in the
main configuration will take effect.
Previously, a runtime modification prevented all further manual changes to
the configuration file. Although in theory this sounds good, in practice
this does very little to improve the situation: The only reliable way to
change a parameter after a runtime modification is to do it via the REST
API (or MaxAdmin).
The signal handler no longer acquires the service list lock which removes
a number of deadlock possibilities from the shutdown process. Instead, a
global shutdown flag is set that serves the same purpose as the individual
service shutdown flags did.
If a service has no active servers and users are injected, a warning would
be logged. This is a misleading warning if the service has no servers and
should only be logged if the failure to load any users is an unexpected
situation.
If the authentication failure was due to a missing database, this extra
information can be logged. This will help cases where users are using
databases that do not exist.
If the service user does not have adequate grants to the mysql tables, the
legacy query is used. This prevents an upgrade failure when the user was
lacking the new privileges.
