tracebackrepy.py triggers "Unsafe call" error in safe.py #92

aaaaalbert · 2014-09-26T11:28:23Z

As a consequence of #69, safe.py destroying builtins like import for everything that runs after it (including other Python code of the Repy runtime!), tracebackrepy.py triggers an error when trying to log an "Internal Error" of Repy into the servicelogger log. See below for a traceback. This is because it imports a library inside of the handle_internalerror function rather than in the outmost scope (where it would be executed when tracebackrepy itself is imported).

Since it's probably a good idea to keep safe.py as paranoid about builtins as it is, the workaround will be to move the import of servicelogger out of the function.

@DennisMirante suggested a patch whose gist is to move the import to the top,

import servicelogger
service_logger = servicelogger
del servicelogger

and then use service_logger in place of servicelogger in handle_internalerrror.

(With this, we need to check that service_logger is not callable from within Repy code.)

Here's an emanation of the problem, as reported by @yyzhuang.

To test @DennisMirante's patch, I modified the Repy runtime function randombytes (any other will do too) to call tracebackrepy.handle_internalerror. This now reliably triggers an "Internal Error" when I run the trigger script from the command line.

To trigger the "Unsafe call" problem, we need to make Repy use the servicelog:
python repy.py --servicelog restrictions.default trigger_internal_error.r2py

This however only shifts the problem to the next unsafe call, this time it's hasattr in the Python posixpath library:

Internal Error

If you add: "hasattr = hasattr" to the outer scope of the servicelogger, I
think it should fix this issue. We have similar code elsewhere that
stashes references to exactly the unsafe calls we need.

I ended up adding a couple of things to namespace.py:

import shutil
shutil.hasattr = hasattr
shutil.open = open

import persist
persist.open = open
persist.eval = eval

I'll experiment some more to see if that's the best place to put these additional stashes.

This removes two conditional function-level `import`s of `servicelogger.py`. As these could be reached from within a Repy program, and Repy forbids `import`, this caused a misleading error message. (See SeattleTestbed#69 for another similarly-looking problem).
