Getting undefined reference to misc_conv using Debian libpam0g-dev - c

Code:
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_misc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
static struct pam_conv conv = {
misc_conv,
NULL
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
pam_handle_t *pamh=NULL;
int retval;
const char *user="nobody";
if(argc == 2) {
user = argv[1];
}
if(argc > 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: check_user [username]\n");
exit(1);
}
retval = pam_start("check_user", user, &conv, &pamh);
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS)
retval = pam_authenticate(pamh, 0); /* is user really user? */
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS)
retval = pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, 0); /* permitted access? */
/* This is where we have been authorized or not. */
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) {
fprintf(stdout, "Authenticated\n");
} else {
fprintf(stdout, "Not Authenticated\n");
}
if (pam_end(pamh,retval) != PAM_SUCCESS) { /* close Linux-PAM */
pamh = NULL;
fprintf(stderr, "check_user: failed to release authenticator\n");
exit(1);
}
return ( retval == PAM_SUCCESS ? 0:1 ); /* indicate success */
}
Two libraries I added:
libpam0g-dev
libpam0g
In /usr/include/security/ I have:
_pam_compat.h
_pam_macros.h
_pam_types.h
pam_appl.h
pam_client.h
pam_ext.h
pam_filter.h
pam_misc.h
pam_modules.h
pam_modutil.h
I compile with: gcc -o check_user -lpam check_user.c
And I get:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc9ldItB.o:(.data.rel+0x0): undefined reference to `misc_conv'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
So why do I get undefined reference to "misc_conv' when the libpam0g-dev was added?

You should add the -lpam_misc option to the command:
gcc -o check_user -lpam -lpam_misc check_user.c

How to check password on macOS?

The following C program can check the password of a user on Linux.
But it does not work on macOS because some functions are Linux specific.
Could anybody show me how to revise the program so that it works on macOS?
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <shadow.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *username = argv[1];
struct passwd *pwd = getpwnam(username);
if (pwd == NULL) {
fputs("couldn't get password record", stderr);
return 1;
}
struct spwd *spwd = getspnam(username);
if (spwd == NULL) {
if(errno == EACCES) {
fputs("no permission to read shadow password file", stderr);
return 1;
}
fputs("No such username", stderr);
return 1;
}
char *password = getpass("Password: ");
printf("spwd->sp_pwdp: %s\n", spwd->sp_pwdp);
char *encrypted = crypt(password, spwd->sp_pwdp);
for (char *p = password; *p != '\0'; ++p)
*p = '\0';
if (encrypted == NULL) {
perror("crypt");
return 1;
}
if (strcmp(encrypted, spwd->sp_pwdp) != 0) {
fputs("Incorrect password\n", stderr);
return 1;
}
printf("Successfully authenticated: UID=%d\n", pwd->pw_uid);
return 0;
}
$ sudo ./checkpass "$USER"
Password:
spwd->sp_pwdp: $y$j9T$F5Jx5fExrKuPp53xLKQ..1$X3DX6M94c7o.9agCG9G317fhZg9SqC.5i5rd.RhAtQ7
Successfully authenticated: UID=504
Both Linux and macOS use PAM for authentication; Linux uses Linux-PAM, and MacOS and BSDs OpenPAM.
To authenticate via PAM:
/*
This is a variant of the Linux-PAM example at
http://www.linux-pam.org/Linux-PAM-html/adg-example.html
modified to use the 'login' PAM service.
That program was contributed by Shane Watts
[modifications by AGM and kukuk]
Save as ex_login.c, compile using (for Linux-PAM):
gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 ex_login.c -lpam -lpam_misc -o ex_login
or (for OpenPAM):
gcc -DOPENPAM -Wall -Wextra -O2 ex_login.c -lpam -o ex_login
and run
./ex_login username
to authenticate the specified user.

Authentication error on pam application without asking password

I have an application running on an unprivileged user, but at some point this program needs to run another one as a root, would be nice if I can reuse a configured PAM module, like, su, sudo, login or anyone.
So I am trying to write some code to authenticate the root and run this program using PAM, like sudo does, but I cant ask for password, it needs to be automatic. This unprivileged program in a specific time will have the access to root password.
Tried this example here https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-pam.html but on pam_authenticate, it always return PAM_AUTH_ERR, I have tried all configured modules on my ubuntu 18.04.

C - getting error *** stack smashing detected ***

I know it might be a duplicate question but I couldn't find a solution for my problem yet.
What I want to do
I'm trying to write in C a sort of simulation of a growing society where there are 2 types of persons, A and B (2 people in my example).
A accepts "engagement proposals" from B
The communication between A, B and gestore is handled with message queues
gestore decides attributes of every "person" and then creates them with execve, passing each attribute as argument
There is a main message queue where each A process sends a message with its info and the key of his private message queue
B reads from the main message queue and then communicates with A using the given key found in the message
I'm under Linux Mint 18.3 32 bit.
The problem
It always gives the error stack smashing detected in file

I 'heavily' edited this answer and removed statements that no longer applied, due to OPs modifying the posted code.
Note: when modifying the posted code, in general, DO NOT modify the original posted code, rather post the modified code as an EDIT. For the current question, suggest just posting interleaved code, perhaps via
#if 0
<old code>
#else
<new code>
#endif
===================
in the 'main()function that repeatedly callssystem()` Suggest the compile steps enable the warnings. At a minimum use these compile options:
-Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -pedantic -std=gnu11
Note: the above parameters need to be in the compile statements, not the link statements.
and to make debugging much easier, suggest the compile and link options include:
-ggdb
Also, that main() function will perform ALL the steps every time. Suggest writing a makefile (and executing it with make) so only those files that have changed will be re-compiled/ re-linked
================
Note: there is the setup for a message queue that the code omits, so the default values will be used. Those default values may not be correct for the OPs application.
Here is a cut/paste of a typical setup of a message queue:
Note: the code is from an application that contains LOTS of message queues taskSelector selects which message queue
/* initialize the queue attributes */
attr[taskSelector].mq_flags = 0;
attr[taskSelector].mq_maxmsg = 10;
attr[taskSelector].mq_msgsize =
sizeof(struct structITC)
+ dWEB_PAYLOAD_OVERHEAD
+ dMAX_DATA_BLOCK_SIZE;
attr[taskSelector].mq_curmsgs = 0;
================
the posted code fails to define:
struct msqid_ds -- oops it is defined in one of the header files
=================
when a check of argc indicates that the user did not enter all the needed command line parameters, then the code should output a USAGE message and exit. Something similar to:
fprintf( stderr, "USAGE: %s ..description of all needed parameters..\n", argv[0] );
exit( EXIT_FAILURE );

Why PAM module code isn't working in my ubuntu?

I implemented basic PAM module and test application from this github link.
In the src folder it has a simple PAM module and test code for it.
PAM module code mypam.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
/* expected hook */
PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_setcred( pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv ) {
return PAM_SUCCESS;
}
PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv) {
printf("Acct mgmt\n");
return PAM_SUCCESS;
}
/* expected hook, this is where custom stuff happens */
PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_authenticate( pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags,int argc, const char **argv ) {
int retval;
const char* pUsername;
retval = pam_get_user(pamh, &pUsername, "Username: ");
printf("Welcome %s\n", pUsername);
if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS) {
return retval;
}
if (strcmp(pUsername, "backdoor") != 0) {
return PAM_AUTH_ERR;
}
return PAM_SUCCESS;
}
Test code test.c:
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_misc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
const struct pam_conv conv = {
misc_conv,
NULL
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
pam_handle_t* pamh = NULL;
int retval;
const char* user = "nobody";
if(argc != 2) {
printf("Usage: app [username]\n");
exit(1);
}
user = argv[1];
retval = pam_start("check_user", user, &conv, &pamh);
// Are the credentials correct?
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) {
printf("Credentials accepted.\n");
retval = pam_authenticate(pamh, 0);
}
// Can the accound be used at this time?
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) {
printf("Account is valid.\n");
retval = pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, 0);
}
// Did everything work?
if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) {
printf("Authenticated\n");
} else {
printf("Not Authenticated\n");
}
// close PAM (end session)
if (pam_end(pamh, retval) != PAM_SUCCESS) {
pamh = NULL;
printf("check_user: failed to release authenticator\n");
exit(1);
}
return retval == PAM_SUCCESS ? 0 : 1;
}
I built the module according to the github link instructions:
gcc -fPIC -fno-stack-protector -c src/mypam.c
sudo ld -x --shared -o /lib/security/mypam.so mypam.o
sudo ld -x --shared -o /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/mypam.so mypam.o
gcc -o pam_test src/test.c -lpam -lpam_misc
I put below two command into /etc/pam.d/common-auth at the top.
auth sufficient mypam.so
account sufficient mypam.s
According to the site:
To run the test program, just do: pam_test backdoor and you should get
some messages saying that you're authenticated!
But I got following error:
abnormal#abnormal:~/Desktop$ pam_test backdoor
No command 'pam_test' found, did you mean:
Command 'pim_test' from package 'styx' (universe)
pam_test: command not found
abnormal#abnormal:~/Desktop$
what sholud I do now? I am using ubuntu 14,04 LTS. Please help.
There's nothing wrong with the code, but the invocation. You shoud use this:
abnormal#abnormal:~/Desktop$ ./pam_test backdoor
Unlike Windows, the current directory usually is not part of the search PATH on Linux.

How to get NIC details from a C program?

I want to get the following details for all the NICs attached to my computer:
1) Interface name (eg. eth0)
2) Interface Number (like in Windows) if such a thing exists in Linux
3) NIC bandwidth capacity and mode (eg. 1Gb/s full duplex)
You can use getifaddrs()/freeifaddrs() to obtain a linked list of all interfaces, then ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFINDEX, struct ifreq *) to obtain the interface index for each. Since the interfaces are consecutive and always listed (regardless of whether or they are up (active) or not), I choose to enumerate them with a loop using ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFNAME, struct ifreq *) instead. In all cases fd is an AF_INET socket.
To obtain the duplex and speed of the interface, you need to use the ioctl(fd, SIOCETHTOOL, struct ifreq *) with the ifr_data pointing to a struct ethtool_cmd having cmd = ETHTOOL_GSET.
The ioctls should return -1 if they fail, and a nonnegative value (zero, I believe) if success.
Here is an example program:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>

If you save the above as iflist.c, you can compile it using
gcc -W -Wall -O3 iflist.c -o iflist
To see the usage, run iflist -h. To list all interfaces, run it without parameters:
./iflist
The above will use the enumeration method I described. To list only specific interfaces, run it naming the interfaces:
./iflist eth0 lo
Duplex and speed is only listed for ethernet interfaces, of course.
Edited to add:
If the above program does not supply the bandwidth and mode for an interface, here is a simplified version which reports the exact reason (errors). This one takes the interface names as commandline parameters; it does not enumerate interfaces.

Questions?
(1) getifaddrs()
(2) if_indextoname(), if_nameindex(), if_nametoindex()
(3) I'm not sure about this one but you might be able to get at it through ioctl() and one of the SIOCGIF* parameters or from /proc.
the following link well explain the getifaddrs function with a working example
getifaddrs()
ethtool eth1
this command will list all the details about eth1 including speed, duplex, port...
you can use popen() to get the output and map it.
POPEN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual
