From 3dc6168b317fb3923f2ae073575a8582d01d3ba9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Tuegel Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2014 08:15:24 -0600 Subject: Properly escape passwords sent to chpasswd The mutableUsers feature uses `chpasswd` to set users passwords. Passwords and their hashes were being piped into the program using double quotes ("") to escape. This causes any `$` characters to be expanded as shell variables. This is a serious problem because all the password hash methods besides DES use multiple `$` in the hashes. Single quotes ('') should be used instead to prevent shell variable expansion. --- nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix') diff --git a/nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix b/nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix index f70e8c292c41..09e7fc53c76f 100644 --- a/nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix +++ b/nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix @@ -411,13 +411,13 @@ in if [ "$setpw" == "yes" ]; then ${if !(isNull u.hashedPassword) then '' - echo "${u.name}:${u.hashedPassword}" | \ + echo '${u.name}:${u.hashedPassword}' | \ ${pkgs.shadow}/sbin/chpasswd -e'' else if u.password == "" then "passwd -d '${u.name}' &>/dev/null" else if !(isNull u.password) then '' - echo "${u.name}:${u.password}" | ${pkgs.shadow}/sbin/chpasswd'' + echo '${u.name}:${u.password}' | ${pkgs.shadow}/sbin/chpasswd'' else if !(isNull u.passwordFile) then '' echo -n "${u.name}:" | cat - "${u.passwordFile}" | \ -- cgit 1.4.1
