Security follow-up committed (d042374): the adversarial review found a HIGH remote-DoS in this PR's own new parser — |
…osed (#566) `AclTable::check_key_permission` got a command's keys from `extract_command_keys`, a hand-maintained match on the command name whose fallthrough returned an EMPTY key list. An empty key list is not "checked less precisely" — it makes the permission loop a no-op, so EVERY `~pattern` was silently ignored for any command the list forgot. This is a live permission bypass, not a parity gap. Measured end to end against a real server (the new integration test, run against the pre-fix binary), a user restricted to `~app:*` reached arbitrary keys through 21 distinct commands at BOTH `--shards 1` and `--shards 4`: SMOVE (destination — it was listed, but as a single-key command), COPY (both positions), ZRANGESTORE (both positions), LMPOP, ZMPOP, BLMPOP, BZMPOP, SINTERCARD, ZDIFF, ZINTER, ZUNION, ZINTERCARD, SORT ... STORE (both positions), SORT ... BY <pattern>, GEORADIUS ... STORE, EVAL's declared keys, MEMORY USAGE. Key extraction now comes from the command registry's own key specs (`COMMAND_META` first_key/last_key/step, Redis argv semantics), so a command that declares its keys is enforced automatically instead of needing a second, hand-maintained list to remember it. 152 of the registry's 262 commands are covered by that walk. The hand-written arms that remain (new module `src/acl/keyspec.rs`) cover only the 25 layouts a fixed spec provably cannot express: `numkeys`-counted key vectors (LMPOP/ZMPOP/BLMPOP/BZMPOP/SINTERCARD/ ZDIFF/ZINTER/ZUNION/ZINTERCARD/EVAL/EVALSHA/FCALL/FCALL_RO and the Z*STORE dest+numkeys shape), positional STORE/STOREDIST clauses (SORT, GEORADIUS, GEORADIUSBYMEMBER), the STREAMS token (XREAD/XREADGROUP), and subcommand-shaped key positions (OBJECT, XINFO, MEMORY USAGE, XGROUP). Extraction FAILS CLOSED. `command_keys` answers None (provably keyless), Keys(..), or Indeterminate — and Indeterminate DENIES with the standard NOPERM error, logging once per command name (bounded set, so an attacker cannot spam the log with minted names). A command that names keys but whose argv cannot be enumerated, and any command missing from the registry entirely, is therefore refused rather than waved through: the next command that ships without a key spec fails safe instead of falling open. SORT's BY/GET patterns read key names computed at runtime from the sorted elements — unnameable by any key spec — so they are refused for key-restricted users (`BY nosort` / `GET #` carry no `*` and are unaffected). The other half is asserted just as hard: commands that genuinely name no key must stay usable. All 85 keyless registry entries plus the six dispatched-but- unregistered ones (HEALTHZ, READYZ, PUBSUB, ASKING, READONLY, READWRITE) and the FT.*/GRAPH.* families are unaffected, and a new registry sweep test fails if a future command declares no keys without being reviewed. Red first: acl::table::tests::test_check_key_permission_multi_key_commands_are_enforced -> panicked: SMOVE must be DENIED on an out-of-pattern key acl::table::tests::test_check_key_permission_fails_closed_when_keys_unknown -> panicked: an unregistered command must fail CLOSED tests/acl_inline_read_enforcement.rs (both shard configs, pre-fix binary) -> 21 out-of-pattern commands answered a real reply instead of -NOPERM Green after: 4718 lib tests, 6/6 in acl_inline_read_enforcement, 79 in acl::. Hot path unchanged: unrestricted users and `~*` users still short-circuit before any extraction. For restricted users the new path borrows key slices into a `SmallVec<[&[u8]; 4]>` instead of allocating a `Vec` per command, so the common single-key case is now allocation-free where it previously was not. Refs #566, #520 author: Tin Dang
An adversarial security review of the fail-closed key extractor found a
remotely-triggerable panic (DoS) in the new `numkeys_keys` walker. `numkeys`
is parsed straight from client argv as `usize`, and the bounds check plus the
slice both used unchecked addition:
if args.len() < first + nk { return Indeterminate; }
for frame in &args[first..first + nk] { ... }
With `nk = usize::MAX` (`LMPOP 18446744073709551615 a LEFT`), release builds
(no overflow-checks) WRAP `first + nk` to a tiny value: the `<` guard sees a
sum below `args.len()` and does not fire, then `&args[1..0]` panics
"slice index starts at 1 but ends at 0". Reachable by any key-restricted
authenticated user — the exact untrusted multi-tenant case — inside ACL
enforcement, before the command's own arity check runs. On monoio's
thread-per-core runtime an uncaught task panic can take down the whole shard
thread. Same crash via every numkeys walker: ZMPOP, ZDIFF/ZINTER/ZUNION,
ZINTERCARD, SINTERCARD, BLMPOP/BZMPOP, EVAL/EVALSHA/FCALL/FCALL_RO,
ZUNIONSTORE/ZINTERSTORE/ZDIFFSTORE.
Fix: `first.checked_add(nk).filter(|&e| e <= args.len())` — an overflow or an
out-of-range count now returns Indeterminate (deny), never slices. This is the
recurring moon numkeys/len-overflow-to-slice-panic vuln class; add a fuzz
target over `command_keys` as follow-up.
Red-first: `numkeys_overflow_fails_closed_without_panic` panics on the
pre-fix arithmetic (verified by reverting), passes after.

Correct the claim about the FT.* and GRAPH.* families.
The entry lists FT.* and GRAPH.* with commands that "genuinely name no key". The code treats them differently: command_keys returns CommandKeys::None for those prefixes because ACL key patterns do not cover the index and graph namespaces, not because those commands name no key. State that the namespaces are out of scope for ~pattern enforcement and are tracked separately.

The STREAMS key walker does not fail closed on an odd tail or an ambiguous token. stream_keys divides the post-STREAMS argument count by two and matches the first STREAMS token, so a malformed tail checks fewer keys than the argv names and a client-supplied group name equal to STREAMS shifts the key window. The test probes do not cover either shape.

The memory-steady-state gate failed twice on #571 (fresh runners each time): `apt-get update` timed out at 120s on every attempt during an apt-mirror incident, and the 5-minute step cap then killed attempt 3 mid-flight. The retry loop from the previous fix worked (all three attempts ran), but every attempt began with the failing network `update`. redis-tools and jq are already indexed in the ubuntu-latest image's pre-baked apt lists, so: - Try `apt-get install redis-tools jq` FIRST, with no `update` — this succeeds straight from the cached lists and never touches the down mirror. - Only if that misses, refresh the lists (`update`) and install again. - Raise timeout-minutes 5 -> 9 so three full install+update+install attempts can complete instead of being cut off. Server code is untouched; this is a workflow-only robustness fix, so its gate (the hosted memory-steady-state leg) validates it directly. ci-local's green at the prior commit already covers #571's code, which this commit does not change. author: Tin Dang
…targets (#587) `acl::keyspec::command_key_positions` parses attacker-controlled argv on behalf of three consumers — ACL key-pattern enforcement, client-side cache invalidation (#582), and command introspection (#537) — so a single bounds bug there is a remote panic in three places at once. PR #571's adversarial review already found exactly that class: a `numkeys` usize overflow that wrapped `first + nk` in release builds (no overflow-checks) and sliced `&args[1..0]`, reachable by any key-restricted authenticated user inside ACL enforcement, before the command's own arity check. That commit (d042374) closed the hole and asked for a fuzz target as follow-up. This is it. The target asserts the properties the three callers actually rely on, not just "does not panic": - every reported position indexes `args` — the bounds property whose violation is the remote panic; - `At` is never empty, and `Keys` is never empty, as documented; - `Unknown` and `AtPlusComputed` must reach ACL as `Indeterminate`. This is the security property, not tidiness: `AtPlusComputed` means at least one key name is computed at runtime (`SORT k BY w_*`), so a `~pattern` user could otherwise be granted a key the pattern was never meant to cover. Cache invalidation deliberately does the OPPOSITE with the same value — which is why the walker reports facts and each caller applies its policy — so the target checks both consumers against one walk; - the walker is deterministic, since ACL and tracking both call it per command. Non-vacuity, per the usual bar: reverting the `checked_add` guard reproduces the #571 crash from the seed corpus ALONE (`-runs=0`, no mutation), minimizing to the original attack string `LMPOP 18446744073709551615 a LEFT`. Restored, the target is clean over 3.27M executions (241s, 3789 new units added, so it is genuinely exploring rather than idling). The 30 hand-authored seeds cover every numkeys walker, both STORE-clause shapes, the runtime-computed `BY w_*` pattern, the stream layouts, subcommand-shaped keys, and the numkeys boundaries (0, 1, -1, usize::MAX, usize::MAX-1). Two coverage gaps closed alongside, both found while wiring this up: - `.gitignore` matched a bare `fuzz`. Because .gitignore does not affect already-tracked files, the 17 existing targets stayed visible and the rule only bit the 18th: this target would have committed clean locally and then failed CI as "no such fuzz target". Narrowed to the build output that actually should be ignored (`fuzz/target/`, `fuzz/corpus/`, `fuzz/artifacts/`), with the seed corpus force-added. - `term_fst_sidecar` has been present in `fuzz/fuzz_targets/` but listed in NEITHER matrix in `.github/workflows/fuzz.yml`, so it has never actually run. Added to both, alongside `acl_keyspec`. The walker's public surface widens from `pub(crate)` to `pub` so the harness can drive it directly; the private helpers stay crate-internal. CLAUDE.md's fuzz count was stale at 12 (now 18) and now states the second half of the rule: a target that exists but is not listed in BOTH matrices never runs. Closes #576 author: Tin Dang

extract_command_keyswas a hand-maintained name-keyed match with_ => vec![]— and an empty key list makes the ACL permission loop a no-op, so every~patternwas silently ignored for any unlisted or mis-described command. 21 live bypasses proven red-first at both--shards 1and--shards 4(SMOVE dest, COPY, ZRANGESTORE, the MPOP family, SINTERCARD, ZDIFF/ZINTER/ZUNION/ZINTERCARD, SORT STORE/BY, GEORADIUS STORE, EVAL, MEMORY USAGE).Fix (
src/acl/keyspec.rs): key extraction derived fromCOMMAND_META.first_key/last_key/step, movable-key walkers (numkeys / STORE / STREAMS / subcommand forms) for layouts specs can't express, and fail CLOSED: unknown command or unenumerable argv ⇒ NOPERM + once-per-command warn.
