dveditz and i joked about guessing the password for a certain account. then it occured to me that we don't actually prevent brute forcing passwords. it's true that eventually new accounts will be token based, but that doesn't protect old accounts. or dictionary attacks on normal accounts. notes: 1. password policy should probably be optional (just so that people can turn it off if they're feeling silly) - but i don't care if it isn't optional 2. password policy should probably be configurable (no more than 5, 10, bad passwords before you need to use a token or contact an administrator). 3. some auditing should be retained (optional?) i'm not really sure what the policy should be. obviously we don't want someone sending thousands of requests to bugzilla. and perhaps if bugzilla detects 5 (or 4) requests to multiple accounts in a short period, it should also notify an admin. just in case someone decides to try a small set of common passwords against a large group of users.

Attached patch v1 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
If the password check fails five times within one hour for a given user, the user's account will be locked and the user will be sent an email with a link to unlock their account. The email includes the IP addresses of all the people who attempted those five logins. A message will be displayed to the logging-in user that they have been locked out and that they have been sent an email to unlock their account.

Shouldn't you ban the IP address of the attacker(*) too, or at least report this IP address to admins? If I want to bother one user, all I have to do is to attack his account permanently, like every day, so that he always has to go read his emails to find the one with the token to unlock his account. Note that the IP address of the attacker could change every day if he uses DHCP, in which case my proposal wouldn't work very well. (*) An attacker could be defined as someone trying to log in 5 times in a row, every time unsuccessfully and independently of the user account. This would let us detect those who randomly choose accounts to access.

For what its worth I've always been a fan of delays. Indefinite lockout makes it possible to DoS a large set of users relatively easily. How about something like: delay = 4^(number of attempts in the last hour) You would then have to wait for "delay" seconds before you could try to log in again. DoS is still possible but its pretty tedious. You can still combine this with an absolute lockout to prevent patient, low-intensity attacks.
Whiteboard: [sg:moderate]
Unless I miss something, I see nothing in the patch which prevents the user to log in successfully and use Bugzilla as usual. Why does he need to unlock his account using a token?
check_account_locked in Auth.pm prevents the user from logging in after 5 unsuccesfull attempts.
This method is only called if the error code is AUTH_LOGINFAILED.
You're right, if they know the correct password they don't need the token. The idea with the token was to allow them to unlock the account and get back into bugzilla. Then they could reset their password if they had forgotten it.
On second thought, I did miss something. The code needs to be modified so that it checks to see if the account has been locked before allowing the user to login in. I'll submit a new patch.
Attached patch v2 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Corrects hole in logic of first patch. User can't login until the token is applied.

If the user doesn't unlock his account within 3 days, the token is automatically deleted and there is no way to get a new token. Your account is locked forever. This makes me think that admins must have a way to 1) know if an account is locked or not in editusers.cgi UI, and 2) unlock accounts if necessary (e.g. because the old email address is no longer available or the token's lifetime expired or the user accidentally lost his email (or got caught e.g. as spam)). >Index: Bugzilla/DB/Schema.pm >+ login_activity => { As I said, this table is useless as the token already has all the needed information. >Index: template/en/default/global/messages.html.tmpl >+ [% ELSIF message_tag == "account_unlocked" %] >+ [% title = "Account Unlocked" %] >+ [% url = "index.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1" %] >+ [% link = "Log in again." %] Are url and link magical variables or what?

(In reply to comment #12) Thanks for you review. I fixed the major hole you pointed out earlier and submitted it for your review thinking that was all that needed to be done. This code was accepted by Max for the Mozilla branch, so I went ahead and submitted it upstream. You're right that the new table is not necessary if you only want to store 1 IP address. It was Max's idea to use the new table to store 5 IP addresses. Unfortunately, I don't have the time now to do a major re-design of this. Feel free to take this over if you want.

Attached patch v3 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Okay, here's a major polishing-up of this patch. I realized it only makes sense for the DB login method, since that's the only time that we're actually guaranteed to have a User object when login fails. Other login types can do their own lockout controls. We do need the separate table, that's how we check how many login attempts there have been. We don't use tokens for that. We also want to know the IP of each separate attempt, not just the IP of the very last attempt.

... and just because bmo has a custom patch for this already deployed doesn't mean this bug is any less important, as there are lots of Bugzilla installations that could benefit from this patch.
(In reply to comment #19) > To be sure: is this really a 4.0-only security patch? No backport planned for > branches? Yes. It's way too much of an enhancement to be backported, and it's not really a secret security issue--this is in the security group to keep track of it, not because it's secret. It will be a security enhancement, like how randomizing cookies was a security enhancement in 2.22.

I'd like to generally keep most of the data. This only removes a small bit of the data, in an unusual circumstance.

Attached patch v6 - Lockout based on IP+Account (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Okay, so we had a discussion about this patch on IRC. We had various proposals, and here are the results: 1) Lock out by just account. Problem: It's too easy for people to DoS your account by doing intentional bad logins. 2) Lock out by just IP Problem: In corporate situations, there are often lots of people accessing a remote Bugzilla from one IP. If, collectively, enough people fail to log in in a given time period, everybody gets locked out. So we went with: 3) Lockout by IP+Account This isn't as secure as lockout by just IP, but it doesn't have the dangers that pure-IP lockout does, and it doesn't allow some remote user to DoS your account like pure-account lockout does. The only problem with this is that it allows (a) a botnet to attack a given account (b) a single IP to continuously try different accounts (though only a small number of passwords at a time for each account). However, attackers can *currently* do that, without this patch, in an even worse way, so this patch is still an overall security win.

Oh, also, the patch notifies the maintainer every time there's a lockout, so if there are consistent lockouts from a given IP, the maintainer can theoretically ban that IP.
This is just getting too invasive to take for 3.4.

Target Milestone: Bugzilla 3.4 → Bugzilla 3.6
Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if "the user account can be DoS'ed" is even something we should be worrying about. Are we just solving problems that we don't know exist yet? I find it much more convenient to be able to immediately unlock my account. Also, login failures don't continue to rack up after a lockout, so it's not like they can endlessly extend the lockout period. They can only start doing a lockout again after I unlock the account.
FWIW, probably a better solution to all of this is to require a CAPTCHA after too many login failures from either a particular IP or on an individual account. That's a bit more complex to implement, though.

See comments 19-26. 3.4 is already frozen, and this is still an enhancement request that didn't yet have a patch when we froze. We can backport it to 3.4 for b.m.o (which should basically mean "apply the patch" since it hasn't diverged that far yet) and share the patch if anyone else wants to apply it themselves.
Max, before I start reviewing this patch, is this still what we want? I think it is.

The only valid way in any web application running under Perl to get the IP address of the end user is $cgi->remote_addr, which can be overridden by local installations that use proxies. We use remote_addr everywhere, so there's no reason to pass it to the function as an argument. If in the future there's some need, we can refactor it pretty easily. Everything else is getting fixed.
> The only valid way in any web application running under Perl to get the IP > address of the end user is $cgi->remote_addr, To be more exact, the valid way is $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} and using $cgi->remote_addr allows admins to override it for proxy situations (something we may even be providing a parameter for in the future).

Nuke this sentence completely. >Index: template/en/default/email/lockout.txt.tmpl >+The IP address [% attempts.0.ip_addr %] failed too many login attempts ( >+[%- constants.MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS +%]) for The admin probably knows how many attempts are needed before an account is locked. No need to specify it here. >Index: template/en/default/global/user-error.html.tmpl >+ [%# People get two login attempts before being warned about >+ # being locked out. >+ #%] >+ [% IF remaining <= (constants.MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS - 2) %] I would rather warn the user when there are only 2 attempts left. Setting MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS to 10, you would get warnings about you having only 8 attempts left. Not only this is a bit too far from being critical, but this also gives attackers a good hint about this account being valid (despite the idea is to display the same error message for invalid accounts and for invalid passwords for this exact reason). So I would much prefer [% IF remaining <= 2 %]. r=LpSolit, with as many comments addressed as possible.

Note that old failures can stay in the DB forever if the user never attempts to log in from some IPs in the future. Shouldn't they be removed after a (few) month or so?
