Block sensitive configs and commands by default. * `enable-protected-configs` - block modification of configs with the new `PROTECTED_CONFIG` flag. Currently we add this flag to `dbfilename`, and `dir` configs, all of which are non-mutable configs that can set a file redis will write to. * `enable-debug-command` - block the `DEBUG` command * `enable-module-command` - block the `MODULE` command These have a default value set to `no`, so that these features are not exposed by default to client connections, and can only be set by modifying the config file. Users can change each of these to either `yes` (allow all access), or `local` (allow access from local TCP connections and unix domain connections) Note that this is a **breaking change** (specifically the part about MODULE command being disabled by default). I.e. we don't consider DEBUG command being blocked as an issue (people shouldn't have been using it), and the few configs we protected are unlikely to have been set at runtime anyway. On the other hand, it's likely to assume some users who use modules, load them from the config file anyway. Note that's the whole point of this PR, for redis to be more secure by default and reduce the attack surface on innocent users, so secure defaults will necessarily mean a breaking change.
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server
instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host
and --port
parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip
are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
Option | Impact |
---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_server
contexttags
context that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
Tag | Indicates |
---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode . |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not campatible with --tls . |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT ). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host
and --port
), filtering using the
external:skip
tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode
, filtering using the cluster:skip
tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory
, filtering using the largemem:skip
tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC
use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
