Subject: [9front] [PATCH] rc-httpd: do not escape FS_ROOT for dir-index and serve-static
Date: Fri, 01 Apr 2022 03:08:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E08554376DF3AA7E72AF66C7A3829ACB@9lab.org> (raw)

The below diff fixes the rc-httpd issue exposed on 4chan[1] whereby one could
escape FS_ROOT via clever URL manipulations when used with dir-index/serve-static
http-handlers.

The solution makes use of cleanname(1) and checks if the computed
path is still prefixed with FS_ROOT.

I am sure there are other solutions, consider this as one possible suggestion...
